Who dat Veggie Chick?

A vegetarian for 20 years now, I am often pitied. Most people are under the impression that vegetarians don’t get good food. No meat = no food. To be brutally honest, when I was a meat eater I too could not imagine anything worse than being a vegetarian.

But, some things are beyond our control and at age 17, I developed an aversion to eating meat. Was it fate? Or was it just that I’d OD-ed on meat. Whatever the reason, I am now a happy vegetarian out to prove  that vegetarians aren’t an unfortunate lot and that a head of cabbage can be as tasty as a slab of beef. Really.

By the way, with two friends (Marty Thyme and Blessed Glutz) I write a monthly food column for The Star, an English daily in Malaysia called Don’t Call Me Chef — you can find the links on my page.

Cheers and remember, don’t diss them veggies.
