"Becoming a vegetarian is a big missed steak” (a pun on “mistake") is a popular food joke that has been printed on many gift items, such as T-shirts and posters. “As far as I’m concerned, vegetarianism is a missed steak” has been cited in print since 2006, but the T-shirt saying became popular in 2011.
