Meatless Monday..

My auditee's BOD recently approved "Meatless Monday", which is in line with its health awareness program for its employees.  Participating canteens are therefore required to prepare meatless menu for its clients every Monday.

Actually, the said program was launched on November 5.  I got my first taste of veggie meat when on that same morning, I decided to have breakfast at the canteen.  I was offered veggie longganiza.  Judging by its appearance and smell, I thought, it must taste good.

Before my mouth started to water, I picked the longganiza with gusto and savored it.  Much to my dismay, it is far from being delectable and, I must add, indescribable.  At that time, I experienced a flashback of my childhood days when my mother forced me to eat something that I extremely did not like and therefore, yucky!  I felt I was going to have a fever then.. :(

Don't get me wrong.  I have nothing against veggie meat.  In fact, I welcome the prospect of patronizing it in the future, for my health's sake.  But then, for now, my appetite is not yet ready to like it.  And I really mean, NOT YET.. ;)
