[Closed] DIE CARNIVORE!!!!!!

Did she make a joke about bacon?

A little ironic really.

I'm not a vegan but the patronizing ****wit they just had on r4 could drive me to murder he was tramping out old tired cliche after cliche where do the bbc find these people ?

Hang on, as I understand it, a vegan group came in (having asked specifically for vegan options to be made available) then one of the vegans orders a pizza with mozzarella on it. Is that not the woman the chef is referring to?

Wowsers.

Not knowing the full story, and only the information given by the newspaper, it’s hard to understand quite what the chef did actually serve the Vegan person in question.

If the chef did on purpose serve the Vegan person no vegan diet, then that’s more than mean that’s downright disgusting behaviour for a chef.

I do however think the comment by the Board is telling, looking for two new chefs spikes of an advert..

But silly of her really, 1) For doing it, and 2) Telling the World that she'd done it.

was this a vaginuary thing?

Not knowing the full story, and only the information given by the newspaper, it’s hard to understand quite what the chef did actually serve the Vegan person in question.

Coverage elsewhere says pretty much what tomhoward said:
- vegan group booked and the chef prepared special vegan options on the menu
- member of the group instead ordered pizza with mozzarella (which isn't vegan)
- customer got what they ordered
- understandably narked chef made a jokey Facebook saying she had "spiked a vegan"
- social media meltdown! Death threats etc etc

Buffalo's what, Binners?

It’s the death threats thing that gets me. What’s the point of killing someone if you’re not going to eat them. That’s just wasteful

Social media is ****ed up. I'm glad I don't need to use it for work and that I don't have to deal with the public.

It's not like she took a vegan's kid to McDonalds is it? Only a proper **** would do that.

Good memory. 😀

Who was that posting?

Do we know if the Vegan Police were involved and if the customer lost their Vegan Powers?

Giles Coren. Goes out of his way to be controversial at times, but is actually a half decent writer when he isn't being a tit, and he did make some good points too.

Likewise the vegan was trotting out the same old crap too - eg vegans are healthier. Which is true but not necessarily because they're vegan, because they watch everything they eat and probably also do loads of yoga and pilates too. And don't drink shedloads. If they adopted the same outlook with occasional controlled portions of lean meat and fish they'd be just as healthy and possibly even more so!

Good memory

He keeps files. Detailed files.

Nothing to see here. Move along...

Well Binners, sometimes I wants to **** em. And I wouldn't feel right eating em after. Man's got to draw the line somewhere.

they'd be just as healthy

And stronger. Don't forget that.

On his desk?

So the chef just checked some Mozz on a pizza then?

Que?

This is complicated, too complicated to follow..

The group, a vegan group, ordered pizza with Mozzarella on it and the chef made just exactly what they ordered? And now the chef faces Death Threats because the group received what they ordered?

😯

Yeah, the fool in this is the outage in Social Media..

To bloody complicated to consider, so a vegan group order cheese on pizzas?? 😆

This is hurting my head, clearly the group aren't bloody vegan or they are deeply confuddled as to the dietary make up of veganism...

Yeah... right.

I remember once long ago in my restaurant working years a vegan (she didn't tell me about it until after) bringing her two 6 ish year old children in for lunch and ordering three bean burgers one for her and one each for the little darlings, the latter two to have "bacon and cheese".

Twenty minutes later cue two very smiley boys telling mum how nice their burgers were. About three seconds later her face dropped and she beckoned me over to ask, clearly mortified, "is that real bacon? But they're vegan!" Fortunately she realised it was at very least, equal parts to blame. Her face was a picture as she tried to explain to the kids why the nice man had to take their lovely food away.

I suspect crossed wires as per dangeourbrain's anecdote. Vegan group assumes that chef is aware and so they will be getting "vegan" cheese. Chef makes food per order.

What should have happened is:
Chef to Server - "They do know mozzarella isn't vegan don't they?"
Server - "I'll just go and check..."

However busy restaurant, multiple covers and the like means chances of that happening not high.

Them's not shandals.

Sounds about right from the limited evidence presented in the story. She didn't "spike" anything, she cooked what was asked for. Seems lacking for the restaurant not to query it though, given the previous conversations.

Coming soon to https://notalwaysright.com/

Lol at death threats from Vegans. What are they going to do with all that reduced muscle mass, pelt the chef with lentils? I’d love to be the target of a vegan action group. I’d simply borrow Lady Ga-ga’s meat dress so that all they could do is stare at me until they got tired 😉

Oh FFS!

Ms Goodman is said to have received death threats.

As in, she didn't receive any death threats. Or has everyone started swallowing lies from the Murdoch media all of a sudden?

I've been in this situation many times. If the chef agrees to make an all-vegan menu, the diners will expect it to be vegan. Vegan mozzarella is not exactly uncommon, Pizza Express and Pizza Hut offer it FFS. So if after agreeing a vegan menu, someone asked for 'mozzarella' they made have made the not unreasonable assumption that it would be the vegan version. A quick question by the chef or a waiter would have resolved the confusion. But no, the chef decided to be a pedantic **** and used normal mozzarella knowing full well that wasn't what was the diner wanted. Then she bragged about it on the internet, pretty much confirming that she knew what she was doing. So hardly a surprise then that the vegan community would start an internet campaign to stop others dining there. She resigned not because she gave a vegan real mozzarella, but because she brought the reputation of the restaurant into disrepute, both with vegans and non-vegans who might have specific, not to mention health dependent, dietary requirements.

Carry on with the idiocy though. Bacon, weaklings, lentils, blah blah.

pretty much bang on the money there Daz.

😆

A clearly piss taking comment today!

If the diner agrees to make an all-vegan menu, the cheif will expect them to be vegan. Buffalo mozzarella is not exactly uncommon, Pizza Express and Pizza Hut offer it FFS. So if after agreeing a vegan menu, someone asked for 'mozzarella' they may have made the not unreasonable assumption that it would be the non vegan version. A quick question by the diner or reading the menu would have resolved the confusion.

All parties could have avoided the situation thus no need vegan outrage.

A clearly piss taking comment today!

Yareckon? (-:

Just proving a point, was all.

I’m with you bothers. Flip it, and If I asked for cheese and someone gave some vegan mushroom based shite i’d be the guns of the ****ing Naverone.

Never mind death threats on Twitter! I’d kill them there and then with my bare hands and bury there body in a shallow grave on the moors

You might want to check some facts there too dazh.

She is co-owner of the restaurant. Her partner was quoted extensively in [url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/02/chef-gets-death-threats-claiming-have-spiked-vegan-diner/ ]The Telegraph[/url] and confirmed they had received death threats:

Ms Goodman's partner Michael Gale apologised for any upset the matter had caused, but insisted it had been a huge "misunderstanding".

He said: "Laura is absolutely mortified by the comments she made which were posted in the early hours of the morning after a very long shift and too much to drink.

"There is no question of her having 'spiked' anyone. We had a group of vegetarian and vegan customers who booked a table.

"Laura had spoken to them before they came in and had suggested some dishes they might like to try which they said they would be happy to order.

"But instead when they did come in they only ordered two dishes off the standard menu, a roasted cauliflower dish and a margherita pizza which obviously has buffalo mozzarella cheese.

"When one of the waitresses came into the kitchen she commented that she thought one of the vegans had been eating the pizza. The comment came from that.

"There is no way Laura would ever do anything to jeopardize the business that we have put so much work into. She is absolutely mortified by what has happened and we can only offer our sincere apologies for these ill-advised comments.

"Unfortunately Laura has death threats which we have reported to the police."
