mints/mince?
when i was but a wee lad, i must have seemed like a right fussy bugger to one mates grandmother (she had that look of death in her eyes-like a raven does *shudder*)

im from a family of strict veggies, so i never had much experience of meat, and decided i didnt like it, like most kids do with what they find unusual. i still dont like the stuff, but have no moral objections to meat

anywaaay, whnever id go to a friends house, id mention that i was a 'vegetarian' just to play it safe, and ensure no meat was given. vegetarianism was (and still is) a bizarre concept to a lot of folk, so id end up with fish and stuff, and have to feign stomach ache.

anyway, psycho grannie tells me weve got mince for tea tonight. which i hear as mints (hey, meat never came into my house, how was i to know). odd i think, but ok, i can deal with it

so a few hours pass, and im presented with a platter of mashed up animal, with some vegetables boiled to the point of no flavour. i wish id just kept my mouth shut, and forced myself through it though, as psycho granny was against vegetarians, and made me 'eat around the meat' (which isnt really possible with mince now is it) and proceeded to mutter 'wasteful bugger' not-so under her breath while using her evil eyes against me from her rocking chair while me and friend played mario kart, trying to take my mind off what became quite agonising hunger

many apologies for length, but youve heard it all before
