I went out with a girl who had been a veggi for about 4 years, took me 2weeks to turn her back to the right side!!

A lass I know has been a veggie for 14 and then in the last few weeks has gone back to eating meat as she decided she wasn't getting enough of what she needed dietwise. NOT that I'm saying you can't live without meat but it physically it just wasn't doing my mate any good. She says it's all psychological, I smiles and nods as I can't imagine it would be easy to just change like that. My vegan friend has been so all is life (family all veggies and vegans) and if he accidentally eats or even almost eats meat he'll physically throw up as his body can't cope. But I would think that's got a lot to do with psychology too.

Sorry for that bit of derail lol!

The Quorn range do some good stuff if you want grill type lumps.

You could try some imagiative omelettes with all sorts of stuff thrown in, onions, cougettes, peas, sweetcorn or go really wild with some pre cooked sliced potatoes (like a Spanish omelette). Try grilling some haloumi to put on top

If you're going for a roast type of meal there are several pre made dry nut roast mixes that you just add water to and serve with the same rest of the meal but in place of the meat

But if you really ant to impress go for an aduki bean lasagne or butter bean and cider bake or anything else with beans or pulses.

or anything pasta with tomatoes and any other veg and/or cream you've got.

Good luck!

mmmmm bran flakes.....

ooopsie there I go again

ok, she wasnt impressed by me sending her that picture! lol

Quorn not too bad but the texture can be a bit odd sometimes. Bolognaise made with soya mince? some are difficult to tell the difference and if you add loads of garlic and some red wine i`m sure it`ll taste great. Shepherds Pie made with soya mince, Or what about a veggie curry? can be just as tasty without the meat, i used to put potatoe, courgettes, tomatoes, cauliflower in or there`s lots of pasta dishes you could do, make one with roasted veg and some feta cheese, loads of garlic bread and it`d be a great meal. Veggie food isn`t such a difficult option these days, have a look at http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/s...d,1511,RS.html some great meals there.

thanks, those are some good ideas. I make a good spag bog so thats a good plan. And curry without the meat, interesting, but Im in a tricky possition, I dont want to stop eating meat just to give into her, which could potentially be a slippery slope for later in life. stick to my guns!
