Btw, it's kind of weird how quickly things have changed here in Finland on this front. In the last year or two, there's been just an explosion of ready-made vegetarian meals, snacks etc. More than I have time to try out. (Or interest really, I only eat ready-made a couple of times a week.) Essentially every place in Helsinki that serves food now serves some good veggie options, often several.

Eating vegetarian has very quickly gone from a hassle to a complete non-issue, and the whole image of eating vegetarian has transformed likewise. Essentially there's no image attached to it anymore. Being at least partially vegetarian (meaning you mostly don't eat meat) is so common you finally don't have to be constantly explaining yourself.

(No offense CaptainCrunch or EricVail, but in Finland jokes like that are probably now more likely to get you laughed at, not laughed with. Just so-o outdated.)

There's even a new word for the "new" type of vegan, called "sipsari". Short for sipsikaljavegaani or chipsbeervegan in English. It's kind of hard to explain the phenomenon, but there name comes from a hugely popular FB-group where people pretty much post pictures of their unhealthy vegan food. (You're supposed to apologize if there's green in the picture )

I linked a few pictures for an idea what "eating vegetarian" stands for these days. That wine there is likely the thing with most animal in it,

Spoiler!


Essentially it stands for "eating".
Oh no offense taken at all, I love vegetarians, I mean after the apocalypse hits, I think they will taste a lot better then meat eating humans.

I plan to start a vegetarian farm and sell em by the pound.

Now is human meat Red or white, and what wine goes best with Human?
