People are so unnecessarily weird about vegan food. Three examples off the top of my head, involving various work colleagues over the years.
I used to work in the flagship Waterstones in Piccadilly Circus. Back then, the Japan Centre used to be next door, and we'd frequently go there to get lunch. I can't remember exactly what I'd bought one day, but it was something with tofu. One of my colleagues started going off about how much they hate tofu, wouldn’t eat it if you paid them.
I asked if they were enjoying their lunch. Oh, yes. They love this type of sushi, its absolutely their favourite. I pointed out that they were eating inari. Which is tofu. They said no, its a type of japanese cake. I said its literally tofu. They looked it up online. They refused to eat it after that.
I had another colleague at Tussauds tell me how much they hate vegan food. They said this while they were tucking in to hummus and pita bread for lunch. Something they brought for lunch almost every day. When I told them their lunch was pretty standard vegan food, they said that this doesn’t count because its normal food (?!)
Another colleague at another job. It was at a grotto I worked at one Christmas. I asked around, checked if anyone had any allergies or intolerances, because I was going to make some cakes to bring in to share. Nope, no allergies anywhere.
I made a couple of types - maple and walnut, and spiced fig and orange. They went down perfectly. One guy, whilst stuffing his face with his fourth, told me I should open a bakery, they were the best cupcakes he'd ever had. I told him I hoped to one day, as there was a gap in the market for a good vegan bakery. He paused mid bite. "These are vegan?" he said. "Yes," I replied.
He spat it out and refused to finish it. The same cake that moments earlier had been the best cake he'd ever eaten.
And people think vegans are weird 🫠
