My husband and I have been married for 19 years. We always say "here, taste this" after making something. I have been veg*an since June. The other day he was making chicken salad and held the fork out for me to taste. I almost did! Fortunately, at the last minute I realized what I was about to do and stopped myself. I know I would have felt so bad.

We do that a lot to each other, too.<br><br><br><br>
Old habits do die hard (some harder than others).

my hubby is omni and will do that to me like when we are eating out, and he wants me to try his dish.

If it's just a mistake that's fine, but I really hate it when people who KNOW I'm a vegetarian offer me meat anyway. Would you offer an orthodox Jew pork? I consider it a mockery.

When I was a kid, I was offered salami ('here, taste this') by someone who sincerely thought I was pitiful and missing out on the best things in life... Some people just don't really think of what they are doing, or understand what the veg*n choice is about. Mind you, this was in the seventies.

I was 15 when I decided to become a vegetarian - oh so long ago! My first day I actually ate a hot dog because - believe it or not - I forgot that I was a veggie! I laugh about it now because it taught me a good lesson about being aware of what you are eating but at the time I was so upset I cried and cried. I personally don't get offended when people offer me meat - I don't think anyone has ever done it to make me actually eat meat - I just think they want to share the nice meal they are having. Being a veggie is a lot more important to me than it is to others...
