So, I've abided by a vegetarian diet for the last ten years. That is longer than I've been driving, buying my own clothes, had jobs, just about anything, and today is the first day someone's asked me get some meat for them from the grocery store.

 

I literally do not know what I'm doing, and I don't like the thought of myself fumbling over a super basic task, so when I go to the butcher shop at my local supermarket, wtf do I do?

...what kind of meat? Grilling, stiry-fry?

 

Beef, pork?

 

Basically what is getting cooked?

 

Also, what are you, rich? Don't go to the butcher, just get the plastic wrapped fuzzy bunny.

You... you do know what a vegetarian diet is, right? You're thinking of pescetarian - like goddamn pesky when people ask if we eat fish or chicken as if they somehow grow on a damn vine!

Uh.. turkey.

 

Nothing actually. Just straight cold cuts.

 

The ones that are in their fridge are usually from the butcher shop.

Then you don't want the butcher, you want the deli. Go there, see if there's anything pre-made, otherwise ask for a quanitity in grams that looks about right for whatever they normally have.

Cold cuts wise, know how much turkey this person want in pounds, and what kind of turkey (or guess for everything). Then you ask the butcher for that turkey in the weight they desire. Pay the money. Done. You also want the deli, not a butcher.

 

Or at least that's what I do at local markets.

, wtf do I do?

 

Jauntily stroll over to the counter, lean on the cabinet and casually shoot the proprietor of succulent meats a smooth grin.

 

Then you pop the question;

 

Got any cheese?

Yeah, I know I was jk. I have a ton of veg friends, and I always piss them off with this too, because they hear it from so many other people. Lol, srry.

I am pretty much a pescetarian myself (I'll eat other meat on certain occasions, usually only if someone else is cooking it for a group dinner or cook out or something). My diet is almost entirely seafood and greens, when I can afford it. I eat A LOT of sardines.

As for a suggestion of meat... Well, can't go wrong with sausage.

ask for two pounds of smoked turkey and don't get the really cheap fuzzy bunny.  Its usually extra watery and kinda gets slimy and funky if you don't eat it in like 2 days.

This is a truth.

 

Also, sounds like you missed a chance to be passive-aggressive about it and rudely decline while shaming the other person.  I thought that was the main benefit of being veggie, and to a lesser extent, the point of good nutrition in general?

What a coincidence!  I use being a meat eater as a chance to be passive-aggressive and rude to vegetarians!.

There's not a lot to be done now, since it's too late. In the ten years of not eating any meat, various brain cells probaly have died (fact: not eating meat destroys almost as many brain cells as alcohol) and most of them are used for basic tasks such as buying meat in a supermarket. If you have a bow and a hunting knife you still have a chance though, because hunting animals runs deep in our blood since a couple of million years. Not even ten years of not eating meat can rot that out. So I'd advise to get out there and hunt down a cow with your bow and slice it to handy pieces. Good luck.

For the kids who grew up in the 21st century, you might google what a cow looks like before going on the hunt for one.

Oh! Would you look at that. Another cuddly wuddly insertion of personal beliefs into other people's lives. Good on you!

 

Like, dude. This is the equivalent of telling a woman her place is in the kitchen.

 

It's something people hear all the time and just roll their eyes at before going back to being functional members of society.

On a somewhat related note. I am completely green. Veggy. That means no milk as well or eggs (obviously no meat at all ...). 

 

So damn annoying to just pass by so many things in the supermarket. But yea, I am afraid of some girl, she said she would let me feel just as much harm as I am doing to the animals. And according to her understanding, it is equal to slavery and abuse. 

 

I would reather not want to experience her rage. (Don't know why I am the only one being threatened by her ._.)

On topic though you should really just ask them to be more specific. Call them up and say something like:

A good rule of thumb in general is when doing something that might embarrass you and you have no idea what you are doing, do it with a mindset of "I don't give a fuzzy bunny what anybody else thinks, this is my life and I need to get this fuzzy bunny done." Bang. Instant cure to any fear and gives you a lot of clear alternatives, like asking staff of a store where things are when you generally wouldn't ask them.

Well that's exactly what I tell her. This is just another thing that is in our bloods since the age of the dinosaurs and sorry to say this, but it has proven to work. Actually I think I am helping my woman to be a functional member of the society this way. You could have just sent your woman to go to the supermarket to get the meat, by the way.

You simply walk up to the counter and and ask "can you help me?", you could also add "I've never done this before".  That person behind the counter is there to help you and answer all of your questions.  I understand the reasoning for being timid, but if you explain it to the person behind the counter that you have never done this before, I'm sure they will understand and treat you respectfully, and not make you feel uncomfortable.

If you don't eat any meats, then how are you harming the animals?  Doesn't make sense unless you work in a slaughterhouse.  Maybe she's a dominatrix and hinting at you that she wants a new sub.

 

 

And then lastly, I feel clomic_snuts comment was in jest and a dig at me.  Gotta love how people can't move forward.

Go to the butcher, and buy all the bacon they have, then pay for the next shipment in advance, then go across the street, and clean their inventory of it as well.

 

 

make sure you bring your allowance (its gonna take a few pennies and dimes)

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

I had a nice size bone-in filet last night.   IT WAS DELICIOUS.  Tickle, try  good thick cut ribeye.  This recipe looks like a similar one to what I use but i use garlic and no shallots.
