Episode 3 'We Watched... Seaspiracy' - join Harri B and Prissy on their journey to eating less meat and fish, wannabe vegetarianism/ flexitarian


Listen Later

Harri B (UK) and Prissy Ryan (LA) are two friends who LOVE to eat fish and meat but since they watched 'Seaspiracy' it's ruined everything for them. Before watching ‘Seaspiracy’ they'd never seriously considered a change to their eating habits but after seeing this film - and loads of long-distance chats they felt compelled to at least try to become some sort of flexitarians. So what was it about this film that made two non-vegetarian, fish-eating Northerners decide to look at what they eat differently and reduce their meat and fish intake?

If you’ve ever had a friend who's become an overnight vegetarian and felt like you just can’t do it – join Harri B and Prissy, recording from their respective wardrobe/'recording studios'. Absolute rookie wannabe vegetarians - a self-confessed veg dodger and a calamari addict - both will share the ups and downs of saying goodbye to meat and fish dishes making up the bulk of their meals UK and Stateside. As well as chatting all-things-food, the ladies talk streaming, film, and TV, and generally about stuff they’ve seen on Instagram - combined with laughing... a lot.

This week Prissy’s sharing her woes about trailing around the communal garden to find mud for her chive plant that’s free of dog wee… for it to then instantly die, Harri’s got droopy coriander and the ladies ask big life questions… like, why won’t some owners pick up their dog’s poop after them? There’s no way Prissy’s starting a communal herb garden in her apartment block with these kinds of characters.  Prissy talks The Sopranos TV series and the woes of how her American voice-activated TV can’t understand her. Harri’s pining for tuna on her baked potato and there’s some serious BBQ FOMO going on – ‘To falafel or not to falafel?’ Too many and sweets, smores, and Impossible tacos are all part of their foody chat. And don’t forget the serious case of mistaken identity involving a courgette!

The duo has chosen quick recipes with ingredients that are easy to find and discovered that they’re actually starting to enjoy this new, lesser meat and fish lifestyle.

The decision to change their diet is for the love of the planet but make no mistake, this really, honestly is a pair of reluctant, part-time vegetarians. If you watched 'Seaspiracy' and feel guilty and helpless because you don't think you can change a lifetime's eating habits - look no further - you've found your tribe. No judgment here - just encouragement for everyone to give some form of part-time vegetarianism a go – a casual foody support group.

Join Harri B and Prissy Ryan each week on their journey to sharing the tasty recipes they've loved, and anything else that pops into their heads - all because they watched one documentary. You're listening to ‘We Watched… Seaspiracy’.
