At the time, the Smiths were bigger than ever. Morrissey was making these types of grand statements to adoring crowds. Expecting the masses to accept his vegetarian/vegan crusade is ludicrous. While I lean towards the vegetarian bent, there are strong arguments on both sides and people have a right to choose what they want to eat.

There is a bit of wit and a bit of pedestal knocking to an act like this. Reminds me of when Jarvis Cocker mooned Michael Jackson. As the subject says, sometimes people need to be humbled.

Why not mash, while you're at it.

.. the throwing of sausages was once considered as insult, but these days it's pretty commonplace. Charlotte Church is known to invite her audience to throw them at her mid-gig to keep her strength up. And Lisa Riley insists that a plethera of sausages and other fried goods be thrown into her mouth before she even thinks about stepping into the "You've Been Framed" studio.
