“Being a vegetarian puts you at a disadvantage,” Ms. Crosley said. “You’re in the most basic category of finicky. Even women who order chicken, it isn’t enough.” She said she has thought of ordering shots of Jägermeister, famous for its frat boy associations, to prove that she is “a guy’s girl.”
“Everyone wants to be the girl who drinks the beer and eats the steak and looks like Kate Hudson.”
Oh dear lord, how wonderful.
What about the poor women who are vegan, I wonder? Aren’t they doomed. Oh well, now that I have gone back to eating meat I really don’t care, but it is bloody unfair on all the vegetarians. Just eat what you want dammit and let others it what they want. I mean really, judging people on food choices. Sheesh.
In any case, whatever the merits of meat – it’s bloody unphotogenic. There’s nothing like taking pictures of fresh fruits and vegetables. The freshness comes across in the colours, even texture. It’s brilliant. (I prefer cooking vegetarian food as well. Easy and so unfussy. My latest kitchen experiment – yoğurt bamyalar urf dahi bhindi. Was delicious.)
Anyway, these from the Naschmarkt in Vienna. Wandering around there was wonderful, wonderful fun.
Old pictures from the Borough Market here. And one on Istanbul foods here.
Paprikas - all colours.
Fresh figs. (Are yummy).
As it says - jackfuits.

you forget the eye of the beholder.
wow, jackfruit in austria...!! impressive.
and that NYT article is so bizarre.
TR: Point. And I do think fish is ok...in fact I have some nice pictures from the Balik Pazaar in Istanbul. But meat? Really?? Eww.
Alok: Ya, the article is crap and completely pointless. Except to stress that whatever women eat its obviously for the male party involved.
Hmmm...I went through phases. Vegetarian wasn't enough, so I went vegan. I think my goal was to appear as finicky as possible. I soon gave up when I realized that I actually like eating meat. But never steak or burgers. I only like beef when it's thinly sliced and marinated, such as in Asian food. I definitely prefer those wonderful fruits and veggies you have pictured!
Vegan - wow. I could not do that. Considered it but dropped the idea...no dairy poducts does not cut it for me.
send the recipe of dahi bhindi dude...if it turned out nice, that is :)
