The third time’s the harm

So today I woke up at around 10 AM. My friend spent the night at my house and since I had a doctor’s appointment at 11 I decided to wake him in none other way than blasting PEPE’s Shadilay through a bluetooth speaker I’d placed in his room. After he left I made myself some lunch; I wasn’t in the mood to make anything big so I just ended up smearing two pieces of bread with butter and adding some cheese on top. Still tasted alright in the end.

Nothing much happened the rest of the day next to some very frustrating internet malfunctions hindering me from using my computer and phone.

For dinner we went out to eat at a Vietnamese street food restaurant; I believe it was tripadvisor certified or something. The staff was decent but they weren’t very fluent in English nor could they speak the Dutch language so communication was kind off problematic. Not trying to be the annoying vegetarian type I still asked them around 4 times what their meat replacers were, they pointed at some kind of special section in the menu which I believed at the time to be their vegetarian alternatives. Unsure what to pick I chose their barbecue shrimp with rice and vegetables. The food tasted great and it was really cheap but something was definitely off about their ”vegetarian” shrimp; it tasted WAY too real, even the texture seemed to perfectly match the one of regular shrimp. I’d maken it clear several times that I wanted a meat-substitute and either they thought I meant fish, they didn’t have a clue at all of what I was implying or they just straight up didn’t care but they still handed me this bowl with extremely realistic looking shrimp. Or maybe I’m just dumb and unaware about the miraculous wonder of extremely realistic meat replacers. If what I ate tonight ends up being real shrimp -which I have no way of varifying- I’d be pretty upset since I’m very dedicated to this whole experiment and the vegetarian lifestyle.

After dinner I ate some leftovers of a vegetarian pizza and went to sleep. I hope I wasn’t conned and this is where I’ll end the blog for now. New upload in 24 hours.
