For those who are vegetarian / vegan .... what was the hardest food for you to give up?

The ? is very self-explanatory. Either talk about yourself or someone you know.

Thanks for the input. :)

I was vegan for half a year, and vegetarian for the rest of that year. I'm in this weird middle ground with pescatarianism, and thinking if I should I go back to eating chicken... But when I was vegan, what I missed a lot was pizza with real cheese, and also there were a lot of foods that I thought I could eat, but then found out I couldn't because of little ingredients that I had no idea were in the food and probably needn't have been there (such as, tortilla chips with lime flavor, I think they had some dairy in it). That was disappointing because I'd be happy to eat it then I found out I couldn't.

Being Italian, I grew up loving salami, but I've ALMOST given it up entirely. Full of fat and preservatives, one of the unhealthiest things you can eat.

For me, the hardest food to give up was mothers milk. So I just said the heck with it.

I'm not really either, but I don't eat cow or piggy. I do each chicken and sometimes fish.

I've never knowingly had pork or cow, so I never had to give it up :)

I don't really consider myself either because I occasionally have meat, but giving up pepperoni and bacon might be the hardest for me.
