Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has refused to serve a plant-based meal to vegetarians and vegans at his restaurant.
Everyone knows just how outspoken Jeremy Clarkson is…
Love him or hate him, he always has something to say.
From his offensive Lorry driver comments back in 2008 to calling former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown “a one-eyed idiot” in 2009, Clarkson has made headlines with his controversial opinions…
So it’s not a surprise when he turned up in the news recently.
And gave an indirect jibe to all vegetarians and vegans in his own way…
But it’s not like his normal controversies…
The 62-year-old recently opened Diddly Squat, an open-air eatery based on his Cotswolds farm.
And it’s every carnivores “dream” as the slogan depicted exactly what Clarkson believes in…
“Yes, we have no vegetarian food,” reads the sign outside the eatery.
And there’s more…
It comes as Clarkson previously protested about a “vegan-only food policy” put in place by Oxfordshire County Council…
Where only plant-based food would be served on school menus.
And he called those who disagreed with his farming practices…
“Lunatics,’ as per Twisted Food.
Well, some fans have not taken the star seriously as usual…
“I have no issues with farm restaurants only serving the meat from animals they rear but he’s just SO boring with his poor attempt to get notices through controversies. I can’t think of any veggies or vegans who’d care,” wrote one fan.
While another said most vegetarians do go to restaurants that serve meat…
“I’m vegetarian most of my friends aren’t so we go to restaurants which serve meat and a vegetarian option so we can eat together. It’s his choice if he doesn’t want to serve anything other than meat, but it’s not just vegetarians who’ll not go. Desperate for publicity I think,” they said.
But some came in support of Clarkson…
“So basically you’re slamming a business for not selling everything for everyone all of the time. You don’t “shame” vegan/veggie restaurants for not selling meat, so what’s the issue with meat only?” said one fan in support of Clarkson.
The former broadcaster previous spoke about the concept behind his restaurant…
“I am told 1,000 people can eat from one cow and we have had one hanging for 29 days. Some people are going to get oxtail, some tongue and some will get fillet steak,” he said.
