Morrissey and Tim Booth maybe Manchester's most famous vegetarians, but they certainly weren't the first. In fact, Vegetarianism in the Western world began in Salford in 1809 when the aptly named Reverend William Cowherd persuaded his congregation to give up meat and the concept swept Manchester. |
| Although there were certainly more vegetarian restaurants in Manchester in the 1880's than today, those that have survived boast such a great reputation that even the most committed carnivores make regular visits. |
