Vegetarian woman 'traumatised' after cooking sausage with 'snout and ears' for boyfriend

When it comes to food, some people won't go anywhere near meat and that means they don't even like cooking it for others.

One vegetarian woman recently decided to treat her boyfriend and their daughter to a dinner of sausage and chips as a change from their regular meat-free diet - however, she soon regretted her choice.

Chrissie Anker was cooking the sausages when she noticed that one of them looked uncannily 'like a pig'.

The 21-year-old mum from Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, was 'disgusted' when she checked on the bangers in the oven, only to discover one looked like it had formed little ears.

The senior support officer claims she then took the meat out of the cooker and was stunned to spot what looked like a snout as well - leaving her cringing at the 'horrible but funny' sight.

Chrissie, who has been vegetarian for four years, said: "I usually cook vegetarian food for him and our daughter every night.

"I thought I'd give him something different because I felt bad, it's a rare treat in our house.

"I noticed what looked like ears. I was telling Joe then when I opened the door, it looked like it had a snout as well.

"I was so disgusted, I thought it was horrible.

"I took a picture of it to show my family because I thought it was funny, but I had to delete it straight away because it was so horrible."

Chrissie says she couldn't help but laugh at the piggy-shaped sausage - but she was surprised when Joe still ate it.

"It's not something I expected," she admitted.

"I decided to give him some meat and when I looked in the oven while they were cooking, it looked like a pig.

"When I'm cooking meat, I usually get quite stressed that it's not going to be cooked properly so I check on it a lot.

"I'd always wanted to be vegetarian. I just really like animals and I've not really ever been that bothered about meat.

"Joe thought it was really funny as well. I asked him if he was going to still eat it because it looked like an actual pig - he still did."

After sharing the unusual find on social media with the hashtag "traumatised", Chrissie said some meat-eaters even commented that it had put them off eating sausages in the future.

Chrissie said: "I just thought it was quite funny so I just posted it, but I wasn't expecting so many people to see it.

"Loads of people were saying it's really gross and others said they were meat-eaters but this made them not want to eat sausages again."
