In a new episode of the Dish podcast, the British actor told Nick Grimshaw and chef Angela Hartnett that he has decided to give up his vegetarian diet after committing in 1986. "I’m trying to eat less processed food… I've now, I've come off being a vegetarian. I started being a vegetarian in like January 1986.", Martin Freeman, Dish Podcast. "Because I was never really, I was never comfortable with the idea of eating animals… So I've not had a really good Bolognese since then.” The Sherlock actor ate Bolognese with the podcast hosts as he shared which foods he’s enjoyed since giving up his vegetarian diet. "Scotch egg was one of the things, I thought, 'It's a free country, I can do what I like.' And also, do you know the other thing - a pork pie with the jelly and all that s**t.", Martin Freeman, Dish Podcast. "So this is the first proper Bolognese maybe I've ever had for 38 years… I always had veggie sort of replacements and stuff.” The Black Panther star went on to explain that while he enjoys vegetarian food, he has "reservations" about certain meat substitutes. "I think in the last several months, it's really new going back to being an omnivore, just sort of eating what I like.", Martin Freeman, Dish Podcast. "It's a funny one, because I like meat replacement things, but my reservation about them is that they can be very, very processed and I'm trying to eat less processed food.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
