Champions to go green

-

THE increasing­ly woke Liverpool Football Club is reportedly going vegetarian. I can’t imagine it’s totally vegetarian or “vegan”, as implied in the tabloids, but it is at least partnernin­g up with meatsubsti­tute company Quorn “to help the Reds go green”.

It’s all part of the club’s support for “sustainabi­lity”. I can speak authoritat­ively, as I’m a fan of Quorn sausage rolls.

I’m not sure if a couple of these before a match would help the players but perhaps the fans, who are to be offered Quorn products, will like them.

I can’t speak for those at

Anfield but the meat pies at football grounds leave you feeling physically ill and psychologi­cally disorienta­ted.

In Scotland, I’ve eaten several hundred over the years and, with the exception of those at Kilmarnock and Dunfermlin­e, if I remember (I’ll need to check my pie diary), every single one was disgusting.
