It’s World Vegetarian Day & National Vegetarian Month! Let’s Have a Contest
In honor of October 1 being World Vegetarian Day, which kicks off National Vegetarian Month, we here at Crispy are holding a contest. But first, HSUS on the celebrations:
National Vegetarian Month is kicked off on October 1st by World Vegetarian Day. In response, The Humane Society of the United States—the nation’s largest animal welfare organization—is encouraging consumers to try delicious meat alternatives that are not derived from the routine abuses billions of farm animals endure. The HSUS is also providing recipes for healthy, mouth-watering vegetarian meal ideas.
We here at Crispy would also like to raise awareness about vegetarianism and vegetarian cuisine. To kick off our efforts, we’re urging Crispy readers to try a delicious assortment of meat-alternative alternatives. (Namely, meat.)
We also want to get on the recipe kick. But instead of sharing, we’ve devised a contest in which we ask you, loyal readers, to share your least vegetarian-friendly recipes. Entrants must be in one of two categories. The first consists of some food you have personally consumed. For the second category, we’re looking for (meaty) pie-in-the-sky ideas on what hypothetical dish would be most reviled by vegetarians. Be creative. While cheeseburger = boring, CAFO-aged crate veal in a horsemeat & baby seal reduction = more like it.
We’ll announce our favorites at the end of October. Winners will get some prize of indeterminate (but undoubtedly little) value.
Submit your recipe here in comments or here.
One final note… If the photo above looks mysteriously like a very crispy Santa’s Little Helper to you, I’m with you on that.
