Why not? Or did you mean "vegans"?

That's what I thought. This was an allergy. Same kind of feeling as you
get after a really nasty glass of red wine.

Because the cheese used in cheese and onion crisps has been made with
animal rennet. This, apparently, is a no-no for veggies.

Being a non-veggie, I haven't checked recently, so this might be
out-of-date.

I know, it was a joke. Not a very good one, not even a bit funny,
delivered too deadpan, I won't give up my day job.

As Jimmy Carr said, they laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
Well, they're not laughing now.

I still don't see why that would be a problem - it's not animal
produce that veggies object to (they'll happily eat eggs and drink
milk for example), but the killing of animals for food. Gelatine would
be far more objectionable as it's extracted by boiling bones,
connective tissue etc.
