A mother’s brutal Facebook post about her vegetarian son after he took her to a vegan restaurant has been shared thousands of times.

Dan Nicholson’s mum was far from impressed with his choice of venue to celebrate getting his A-Level results last week.

The teenager chose The Egg Cafe in Liverpool, which describes itself as the city’s “premier vegetarian/vegan restaurant”.

Following the meal Dan’s mum took to Facebook to express her displeasure complaining: “Why can't I have a normal teenage son who enjoys burgers, pizzas n God forbid chicken kebab hey ho, vegetarian restaurant n spicey [sic] lentils it is ho yum, going to hug tree next.”
