Time to become Vegetarian?

[another]

I have been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years now. Your experience would have been a nightmare for me - I cannot even begin to imagine it!! The Covent Garden soup sounds good though [msnsmile2]

It was the teeth still in there that really did it for me[:P]

Yukky CDV, my daughter has been a veggie since she was about 10, don't know what set her off but we can't have anything in the house that looks like it's had a face!

Think this would of put me off for life. No wonder you had nightmares. [sick]

I even contemplated taking a picture of it to visually explain what it looked like but I was frightened it would bite me if I took it out the kitchen bin

I love vegetables, would have no problem becoming a veggy. but what to I replace the meat with?
My experince of the alternative to meat is dreadful it tastes like cardboard[msnwink]

That's because being a vegetarian is not about replacing meat with something that looks like meat but isn't.

Being a vegetarian is a whole different way of looking at your food and your cooking [msnsmile].

I'd hate to just have the same meal as meat eaters but without the meat as that would be horribly boring and is enough to put people off. Thankfully there are tons of ways of making being a vegetarian very interesting and rewarding.

I so agree with you John, although I am not a veggie I eat virtually no meat or poultry and very little fish, but I just don't think about it because I don't like the taste or the texture, with so many other lovely foods I find it a real treat to find new foods to eat[msnsmile2]

Yuk Jacqueline I would have had a fit, I went mad on Tuesday, we have the plumbers in and although I made them a sarnie on Mon I jokingly said it was there turn on Tues and they called at the bakery on way here and it they came with the bread and a foil package, I asked what was in it and was told it was saddle and the very best all roasted, well I had never heard of this as I am not big on meat, turns out it was venison that he had shot himself, OMG that was it I was nearly sick, he was ever so hurt that I wouldn't try it, I told him Rob would and he said it was just like tender beef, well all day they kept on at me about Bambi etc, I got Rob to put the rest in the bin, it was awful it had the ribs in etc - now I know why I don't like meat [sick][sick][sick][sick][sick]
