No vegetarian food at SMS

[kwsaint]

Correct me if I'm wrong (by food I mean actual hot food not a mars bar).

[dune]

They used to sell pizza not sure if they still do.

Cheese and Onion pasties!!

[The Kraken]

Chicken balti pastie. Have one of those and you won't entertain such ludicrous thoughts as vegetarianism again.

He certainly wouldn't entertain such ludicrous thoughts of eating the hot food at St Mary's again.

Chicken's a vegetable where I come from.

Where's that, Texas?

[Graffito]

Where's that, Texas?

 

Of course not. They don't eat vegetables in Texas.

[Jonnyboy]

Of course not. They don't eat vegetables in Texas.

 

Hmmm sounds like could be Pompey? Am I close?

Must not make a joke about the pleasing fact that St. Mary's is incredibly accessible to the wheelchair-bound these days concerning vegetables must not, really must not arghhhhhhhh

Vegetables? That's what Food eats !

[bug187]

Annoys me. The veggie range is ****.

Better choice of food down in the conference it seems !!

[green_gibbon]

Yeah, just the cheese and onion pasty, really, apart from the obvious chocolate bars. Not great for us vegetarians but to be fair, I can usually manage from 2:30-5 without eating!

[Hatch]

There is no vegetarian food, for the same reason that there are no ironing boards and washing machines.

 

It's a mans game.

[Joensuu]

Nothing whatsoever for vegans... mind you who eats at games? I'd love to see a better range of food and beers, with a shorter queues etc, but honestly don't see the need to eat or drink for the 2 hours I'm at the stadium.

 

Don't forget the club doesn't care what food is offered - only that the company offering it is willing to pay more for the sales booths than any other company was willing to. As there is a short timeframe for selling products in (realistically less than an hour a game), any company winning the contract, will invariably offer only those products which have the highest markups - hence the options will be syrup-based drinks (bought at, what, about 20p, sold at £2-3), and cheap microwaved-meat/cheese product (bought for c. 30p, again sold for £2-3). Frankly, anything tasty, vegan, or healthy would either have too small a markup to make it profitable, or sell in quantities which wouldn't be viable.

 

As a veggie, I understand why the food (and drink) options at the stadium are rubbish, and will always be rubbish. Instead of worrying about it I choose to eat before and/or after the game.

[Saint-scooby]

I have been a vegetarian since 1978. There was a time even when Mars bars and Polo mints contained gelatine.

The Pizza's were stopped years ago, now just the cheese and onion pastie, just hope there is no rennet in the cheese....

 

Sad I know

[Piran]

I'm not veggie, so am not too worried by the original question, but I will say that the cheeseburger I had at a recent game was probably the worst thing I have ever eaten in my life. It was disgusting! Because my cousin had bought it for me, I made a valiant attempt to appear to be enjoying it, but finally gave up and confessed, and then binned it. I don't care if a catering company was responsible for producing it. In my opinion the club should ensure that whatever is sold at St Mary's is top quality. They've done a god job with the football on offer, now let's see the catering improve, including for vegetarians. Or did that go out of the window with dear Rupert?

So sometimes you have your last meal of the day before 3pm?!

[BlakeySFC]

Vegetarians are hilarious.

 

Vegans are just pathetic

[Golac's Iron Gonads]

I had a steak pie on my last visit, I didn't see any meat in that.

[Tokyo-Saint]

27 posts on a thread about food and no sign of Turkish? I'm getting worried, that's the cyber equivalent of seeing 6 milk bottles outside of his door. Maybe he choked on a cheese and onion pasty on Saturday, trying to secretly stuff his face with the hot vegetarian option between halfs.

 

Can someone start a thread about expanding the stadium to the size of the camp nou just to be sure.

[Miltonaggro]

Bovril...

[Minty]

I think SFC (and a lot of businesses) are quite short sighted when it comes to vegetarian options. Good quality non-meat options can appeal to everyone, not just vegetarians. Given the lack quality in the cheap, mass-produced meat products like some of those we've got at SFC, there are an increasing number of people who want to eat something tasty and nutritional, and it doesn't have to contain meat. In terms of quality vs cost, non-meat options are far better.

Why?

[This Charming Man]

There's no room for vegetarians at football. It's bad enough we have to let women in the ground.

[ribbo]

But in all seriousness why do people desperately need to eat between 3 and 5 anyway?

Nobody "desperately" needs to eat between then. But there are plenty of people like myself who for midweek games leg it to the ground straight from work, so a Chicken Balti always serves as my tea. Sure there are similar situations for people on a Saturday.

 

Then there are just some people who may fancy a bite to eat. Though I do fail to understand why random people's eating habits are of any concern to you.

Isn't Morrisey one of the most famous vege's out there?

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

They don't have vegetarian food because they don't expect our funs to be such utter ****ing pussies.

[RobM]

Chicken balti pastie. Have one of those and you won't entertain such ludicrous thoughts as vegetarianism again.

 

You'll also be reasonably confident that there is no chicken in it! Always reminds me of Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodles, with 'Suitable for Vegetarians' on the label.

[Turkish]

But in all seriousness why do people desperately need to eat between 3 and 5 anyway?

 

I do. On a usual working day I have lunch at 1 so by 2.50 I'm starving. I'll leave the office then to go down to the Burger Van and stuff my face with one whilst chewing and spouting bullsh*t to anyone who will listen. I normally get back to my desk at 3.05 but by 3.40 I'm desperate for a p*ss and getting. A bit pecking again so I'll leave my desk to go for a slash then it's back to the burger van to feed my at chops again. In between bites I'll spend the whole time ranting about how clueless my manager is, we should. Get rid of Magda from marketing as she is lazy and offers nothing and slag of Leon in sales saying he's completely in the wrong role and would be much better in accounts.

 

I usually get. Ack to my desk at 4.10, spend the rest of the afternoon ranting at my collegues telling the they are useless. I've often seen them taking a bit of time trying to write constructive emails to customers but I find a well volumed "don't f*ck about with it, just send it" tends to work a treat. I make a couple of sales calls myself and run through my pitch so quickly it's barely Audiable! I guess the banging on my desk doesn't help either. Another p*ss s break at 4.25 before logging off at 4.40 and leaving work early to beat the traffic. Why should a Saturday at football be any different?

This forum is fantastic. It really is. Not only are fellow paying customers being instructed by their peers exactly how and when they should support their team, when they should arrive, when they should depart, what songs they should sing, what songs they shouldn't sing, at what pace those songs should be sung etc etc etc, they are now apparently being told when they are allowed to eat!

 

Great stuff. I'll be sure to stay tuned for the next episode in SMS acceptable behaviour.

I don't see why they don't take away the toilets too, who needs to use the toilet more than once in two hours?

[The Kraken]

Shut the bars too; God forbid anyone should be drinking between the hours of 3 and 5, that would be entirely ludicrous. Who on earth needs to partake in such wanton folly?

Oh you here, thank god! I was getting worried, a thread about match day food wouldn't be the same with the usual people should eat at set times rant. Now, what about that stadium expansion?

[This Charming Man]

Yes he is. He's also a f*cking moron. Doesn't mean I can't like his music though.

But you are concerned with what they eat? Why does it concern you but it shouldn't concern others?

 

Who cares, what people eat and when? When people leave and when others stay? Who sings what, wears what, drinks etc etc. I paid my money, I'll do what I want.

[Patrick Bateman]

Unless you're allergic to meat, being a vegetarian is attention seeking; "oh look at me, I don't eat meat, you'll have to cook me a special meal of my own", "How about p*ss off and eat what you're served you attention seeking moron".

Their eating habits don't concern me, was merely a throw away comment made in jest. Adrian was just being a mong, as usual.

 

And you won't do what you want. You'll do as you're told by the stewards and the police and you'll drink and eat what the club supply you.

Haha true to a point. Alright then, I'll do what I want *subject to national and regional laws, ground regulation and The Sporting Events Act 1985.

 

I expect you have a pyrotechnical feast planned for April 7th? I am expecting something on the lines of Jean Michel Jarre.

Unfortunately I have spent thousands on upcoming England away games, so don't fancy letting them go to waste and getting myself a 5 year banning order.
