Holy cow! I'm a vegetarian!

I had dinner with philos last night. I foolishly asked him to pick a restaurant. Bad idea. For some reason, he picked a vegetarian restaurant called Bodhi.

Vegetarian? I was horrified. But I was hungry, and I don't think straight when I'm hungry.

So we got in and sat down. The menu looked harmless enough. It was peppered with comforting words like "beef", "chicken", and "fish"... hardly sounds vegetarian. I chose the "vegetarian beef steak in black pepper sauce"--sounds yummy except for the vegetarian part.

Looks fine, right? I thought so, too. So I took a bite and discovered that it tasted like... strands of rubber! How dare they call this beef? It's blasphemy! It's blasphemy against the holy cow!

The dish that philos ordered, some sort of brown mixed veggie stew, wasn't any better. It contained some rectangular bits of veggie seafood, which again tasted like rubber.

After the "meal" was over, I felt a little sick and still hungry. I got out of there and bought two scoops of ice cream--real milk-from-the-cow ice cream, not some disgusting veggie soy ice cream that philos happened to be talking about.

Ingesting the cold creamy animal fat made me feel a bit better. I'm still feeling a bit queasy right now, but I think I'll live. But the horrific memories of that vegetarian meal will stay with me for a lifetime.

Hmmm...

Where is this Bodhi? I actually like veggie meat. Back when I was little, there was this Buddhist temple we'd visit. Free food was served at the end of each service and aside from eggs and real vegetables, there was veggie meat. It tasted pretty good! Got me hooked on veggie meat! Perhaps Bodhi doesn't taste good because the cook is not some Chinese monk.

You disgust me!

First Oprah, and now veggie meat! What else do you like? Osama bin Laden?

Bodhi has lots of branches in different places. The one we tried is at Madison Square, Greenhills.

Oh come on

It was like Fear Factor! Wasn't that exciting? And besides, it's uncontaminated food. Even the flies won't touch it.

Sure, it was exciting

Eating veggie meat gave me quite an adrenaline rush.

But it was still disgusting.
