10 awkward moments every vegetarian has experienced
TODAY IS WORLD Meat Free Day, which raises awareness of the benefits of a (slightly) meatless diet.
For vegetarians, Meat Free Day is every day. And these awkward moments are for life, not just for June 15.

Whoops!

Say you’re a vegetarian and make the host cook something especially for you, or keep quiet and just eat all the veg?
