I am a life long vegetarian so throughout my entire life I’ve had to respond to the shock I get when I say I don’t eat meat. After blank stares and awkward silence I always hear the question, “Do you eat fish?”
No, I don’t eat fish. So I respond with, “If it had eyeballs or a mother, I don’t eat it!” These Easy Chickpea Patties are a great Friday night ‘fish fry’ substitution.
