AVB Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Popped to my local cafe for lunch today. I have had a lot of meat over the last few days so fancied something less ‘meaty’. The only option was a vegan chicken nugget salad. Normally I avoid vegan food out of principle but I thought “why not”. It was delicious. Very delicious. Surprisingly so Now I will be trying more but I am definitely not going vegan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 There's nothing wrong with vegetable based dishes, I try to have one on the side of each meal I have, chicken and veg, steak and chips, it's all good Not sure why they have to specify veg as Vegan these days though. Was brocolli and peppers not vegan before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Have never had a specifically vegan meal ( and have no intention of doing so ) but have and still do, enjoy vegetarian meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hitman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I like Frankie Boyle's take on this by saying “ when we have a dinner party we always have an option for veggies- go home ! or words to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me lol The quorn nuggets done in the oven and then put on a bed of rice and smothered in sweet and sour sauce or fab! I also tried a vegan burger in Wetherspoons the other day! Blooming marvellous! But then had fish and chips that evening and a full English the morning after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife makes a lovely stew once a week ish to last over two days, second day is still great, veg is cut into decent size chunks. We're not big meat eaters but she uses a little minced beef in it and its really enjoyable. Shop bought veg this time of year but home grown when we can in the lawn borders and containers.

bruno22rf Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Oddly enough, after reading the OP's post I went meat free at our local Indian Saturday evening - Tikka Masala sauce, Onion Bhaji's and Vegetable Niramish - with Garlic and Coriander Naan bread it was absolutely superb, in fact I would say better than with my usual Chicken because I didn't leave feeling like I had swallowed a Medicinecene Ball.
