How to solve a moral dilemma

In my case I just ate the chicken butty

Fell foul?

I thought you were vegetarian i-spy.....

Heny excuse

🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

According to Jo Anne I'm something else.it sounds like Presbyterian.

A lapsed *pescetarian I-spy (*vegetarian + fish diet)

If you eat fish, your a pesky- tarian I-spy

Anyway back to the said dilemma.
Occasionally I do a bit of shopping for a neighbour who isn't as mobile as she used to be.
and when I dropped her stuff in at tea time she insisted that I had a butty with my cuppa.
So I scoffed it.
Should I feel guilty I didn't want to upset her by refusing.
PS very nice it was too

You should have chickened out i-spy

Aww, Jazzy! Yes, I-spy, you should feel terribly guilty!

(In the scheme of things I wouldn't worry - it won't do any good feeling guilty anyway.)

It's very difficult when your picky about your food. I really don't like meat, or any sort of meat product. And I haven't drunk milk since I was about 8 years old. Caused mayhem at junior school cos that was in the days when we had free school milk.

They insisted I drank it, but changed their minds after a couple of upchucks

These days it doesn't worry me at all to say I don't like something, but I am often reminded of the gag in the Royal Family, where the son comes home with a new girlfriend who announces she's a vegetarian.

And Grandma (the wonderful Liz Smith) pipes up with " Can you not have a bit of boiled ham cut thin?"

Made me cry with laughter, because I've come across very similar misunderstandings.

Me too jazzy, Horrible Stuff

It was certainly a trial that sorted out the menu from the boys. It seems I-spy suffers foods gladly sometimes.

If you are determined to be a pescetarian then you'll have to go cold turkey again, I-spy.

It's easy for me jo anne, cos I just can't bear the smell, taste or texture. So no temptation. These days it's more accepted, though sometimes people do react as though its a critisism of their choices, and get all defensive.

Years ago I was just considered to be odd.........

As a child I don't think my mam ever understood why I couldn't
eat meat..and every Sunday the same old routine was my mam
putting a lamb dinner in front of me,my Dad would say "you won't be told..she won't eat it"..I can still hear it..

Momac, when I was having my family, the doc went bonkers, about milk in particular, though my diet in general. Made me take iron tablets throughout my pregnancies, cos he decided I must need it, though no blood tests were done.

You know what happens when you have too much iron don't you?

Not pleasant!

Jazzy, Beep54 and Momac, it's trickier for I-spy as he likes chicken - PS very nice it was too - so he's concerned about having committed a morsel sin.

Ha ha jo anne

It is trickier giving up something you love, I couldn't give up chocolate, and that does have milk in it

Jazzy..I've just had some chocolate...my big no no apart
from meat..poultry is tomato ketchup..I don't even like to
look at it..yukkk.

Momac, I don't like tomato ketchup either, or baked beans, which many people assume I would.

A friend once made a "special dish" of shepherds pie, but with baked beans, instead of meat. I felt terrible, but no way I could eat it

Jazzy,I can eat beans but none of the sauce..plus I have to
put vinegar on the beans as the acid upsets my stomach..we're
funny buggers aren't we.

I'm glad you said that momac

Eating chocolate, Jazzy! Three hail dairies for you!

And an hour father.😁🙌

And what about, I-spy, and his moment of weakness, Momac?!

I think he needs to do a full rosary Jo anne.

What about the temptress up the road.
She's doing steak and kidney pie today.
I'm beginning to think she's the devil in disguise

Tempted in the Wigan nest! It sounds like you're in moral danger, I-spy!

Actually, I-spy, this devil in-carcass-ate seems too good to be true, could the chicken have caused hell-ucinations?!

Momac, definitely I've been a funny Bugger all me life, and intend carrying on the same way

Never a dull moment - or full moment if you're unfortunate.

After reading the I-spy dilemma, I decided to make an Angus beef steak sandwich for lunch...someone had to support the farmers or in my case the cattlemen

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to give in to it i-spy

Britboy, that will be moo -sic to i-spy's ears

cup of tea to wash the butty down.....magic

Watching the large snowflakes falling through the picture window with the heat turned UP!

Noooooo! There is glass in the window....a grammar famine going on lol

have you got a spare room britboy

As long as I can send you up on the roof Jazzy to shovel snow maybe two or three times through the winter and snowblow the drive every day then the spare room is yours
Can you get over here asap, there's a big garden full of leaves to move and all the perennials want cutting down.
Oh! And can you use a chain saw?

Ha ha, there is a place near me that does rural skills and craft courses.

Sadly, I just missed out on this one

Edit, there might still be time , only 3 places booked

A chain (saw) is as good as a rest, Jazzy!
Meanwhile, I'm wondering if I-spy's managed to resist the steak & kidney pie!

Oohs...... The way to a mans heart is through his stomach jo anne, so they say.....I've got a lovely hat should there be an occasion that calls for one

I was going to ask I could stay at Britboy's too, and if there's room in your suitcase, Jazzy, but I won't in case of chainsaws amateurs being about!

Ha ha, I bought a cider making course at the place for my son-in-law for last Christmas.

The chainsawing for amateurs really gave me a laugh! My daughter wasn't in favour of it though!

How did the cider turn out.when I tried making it the bottles blew up,smashed a hole in the door under the stairs and traumatised the dog 😬

i-spy, shhh I can't laught everyone's asleep, and it's lovely and quiet here for a change. Shhhhh

The first batch of cider is brewing at the moment, using apples from his garden. Apparently supermarket apples are no good for cider.

I believe there's two stages to the fermentation, so far so good for my S in L

For Christmas this year he's getting 2 Perry pear trees, as they prefer pear cider, no partridge though!

Peace be with you jazzy.enjoy the quiet. Until the cider explodes of course 🌜

I-spy, if you wanted to take the lady out on a date* look what's on WW What's On - Link*

*Dates are suitable for pescetarians

That sounds more like a suicide pact than a date Jo Anne

It will be if the lady is a chainsaw amateur

Oh dear, Jazzy, as if I-spy's not having enough trouble with cutting meat out of his diet!

I-spy, whatever you do, avoid the chops! (And Mr Cohen's songs )

Does this suture better, I-spy? (It should have you in stitches in a good way.)
