The reason I hate vegans is that I have no problems consuming egg and dairy yet googling for vegetarian versions of various dishes requires me to specificy "-vegan" because if not the first ten hits are without fail ones that on principle exclude cheese and yoghurt.

Also, fungi are fundamentally disturbing organisms and I am genetically programmed since generations beyond written history to find it revolting to consume things that exist solely to decompose organic material.

100% with you on fungi.


My species didn't claw its way to the top of the food chain - in complete defiance of its size, natural armament, and dentition! - in order to eat fungus.

I KNOW. I mean, I'll eat it if it's put on my plate, and I don't mind the taste or the texture. But it's never on my own shopping lists, because on some level I find it disqusting.

I object to both the taste and texture; my preferred description is "dirty dish sponge." :D

But there are a very few ways in which I will eat mushrooms. (Gardenburgers don't have mushrooms in them, shhhh! Neither does stroganoff! Don't be silly.)
