WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
If you're vegan or vegetarian I would just forgo Texas altogether. You'd get the same treatment as if you had "Atheist" branded on your forehead.
Hahaha, sadly, I think this is true. Even in Houston, easily the most diverse city in Texas, vegetarians are considered odd, unless it's for religious reasons. My wife, who grew up in San Antonio, once confessed to me that she was in her mid twenties before she realized that something without meat could actually be considered a "meal".

You should come during Rodeo, Seul. It would be the most otherworldly experience of your life…
And you would be totally safe; Texans try to be kind to the less fortunate (defined as anyone not Texan, but especially folks from unenlightened locales like Europe. Or shudder New York City).

Chris, it's not just Texas. I was raised by a strictly working class English father, who contended until the day he died that a meal without meat is not a meal.

Damn Yankees

Southerners tend to get offended by a lot, now that I think about it. Testy bunch, we are.

True, like being born in a tobacco factory, and not smoking.

True.
I ain't no yank!

"Necessary" eliminates too many things that are pleasurable. I choose to do any number of unhealthy things, including eating meat and cheese and drinking beer, because I enjoy them.
I respect anyone else's decision to live their life in a different manner.

Tough being an expatriate, isn't it, Urb? I've lived in Texas for 8 years now and I still don't feel like I belong most days. NYC would make me homicidal. Then again, that would probably make me fit in better…
