Worst vegetarian food?

[tangerinedream]

There are lots of books devoted to vegetarian and vegan receipes. If someone decides to become a vegetarian (in th western world - before mention india, china etc) then its a huge undertaking and one that requires tailoring, your previous eating habits.
By taking meat substitutes (in the form of meat, i.e. sausages, bacon), you're inadvertently susceptible, to reneging on your ideals.

Look - it's not an idealistic xen like state I want to achieve. I simply don't want to eat dead animals. I couldn't give a fuck whether anyone else does and I'm not doing it so the world gets fed and the Dali Llama gives me a medal. I simply can't handle putting dead pig in my mouth because I like pigs. I actually also quite like vegetable, fruit and get this! - I actually prefer some quorn products to the taste of real meat and when I eat (and loved) a vast range of meat, I eat quorn, because it tasted nice.

Is that ok with you?

I can think of about 50 more important things to me then whether I am reneging on my non-existant ideals.

Quorn sliced and diced little baby duckling style pieces?

It's not joining a fucking religion-its not eating dead animals. Tis not a huge undertaking if you have strong principles-to treat it as one means you have more of a problem with it. Meat subsitutes are not meat or indeed imo meat substitutes as clearly are unlike meat. They are just a different way of eating food that is not from a slaughtered animal so you can eat different tasting things. I have loads of veggie recipe books. I use them a lot-am never bored with a veggie diet-eat far more different foods than probably a meat eater but occasionally like a veggie sausage to go with a sunday fryup. Think far worse things to moralise over.

it does actually say "no vegetarian baiting" in the readme for this forum so if the "I'm considerably more vegetarian than yow" crowd and the meat-eating wind-up merchants could pull the ivory towers out of their collective fundament and toddle off, that would be nice

I'm not questioning your consumer (literal sense) rights, all I'm saying is don't mug yourself.

I never preach my values-I don't eat meat but never bitch about how people should be veggier than thou or tell people to stop eating meat. This thread was meant to be one for people to mention the shit veggie food that gives vegetarianism a bad name

Wasn't refering to you. Tbh I think it's a bit sad that you specifically asked if meat eaters couldn't do this, and it's been gone ahead and done anyway.

Which just backs up my perception of there being many more vegie baters around than priggish veggies.

So what is sosmix actually made of?
Btw when I do it, I grate a carrot and onion into it when it's dry. I also mould it into burger shapes (I don't think much of burgamix) and have it in buns. I've had it inside bread dough too, with tomato chutney (it was delicious) and sometimes mix it with stuffing and nuts and bake it. It's lovely. And for the record, I really love meat, but can rarely afford good quality meat. I'd choose vegetarian food over cheap, tasteless and gristly meat any day.

There are some, but then I think priggish meat eaters are proportionately more common IME. I dunno, perhaps if you're mates with AR activists it's a bit different?

However, I do find the "why on earth would you be veggie and eat meat substitutes?" argument odd, and that is one I've heard from veggies as well as meat eaters. People choose their eating habits based on a variety of factors and it's quite feasible someone who has stopped eating meat on totally moral grounds might enjoy eating meat subs.

Mind you, I do find that rare breed of veggie who don't actually like vegetables a leedle weird. No offense anyone.

I agree. don't meet (meat!) many veggies who go on and on to meat eaters about how evil they are but so many (particuarly some urbanite) meateaters find it hilarious and clever to mention the joys of steak or smell of bacon to veggies who really couldn't give a fuck

It's the same as always with just about every veggie thread. Just like when you talk about cycling someone comes along and says 'oooh what about them that ride on the pavement'

(I will admit to moaning when bf eats bacon and then smells of it when he tries to kiss me 1 minute later, and when his farts smell worse, but that's it, I promise)

Anyway, as I said, I'm pescetarian. You should be all ganging up on me!

Think made from soya but not sure-cheers for tips My mate was at a free party which lasted three days but had no food-in a biblical loaves and fishes stylee made sosmix sausages for hoards of starving k-heads who were baying for more*

*not saying that need to be starving and off your head on K to enjoy Sosmix

Get back to the OP, coleslaw is awful too. I remember liking this when I was young, but now...
do dietary biscuits count. The rivita type, where you have to buy some cheese or a dip for it to taste remotely edible.

Someone once told me "that for a vegetarian, you don't like alot of vegetables"

I adore coleslaw!

I do however hate mushrooms, which poses some problems in crap restaraunts with limited veggie options.

Swallowing a mushroom makes me heave.

I eat virtually no fruit However do like fruit juice My mate at work is a veggie who lives on ryvita as always dieting, hates anything that looks like meat or tastes like meat, won't eat bread or cheese or anything spicy-only recently started trying pasta which she will only eat with ketchup

yuk. We agree on the mushroom front. The commonly eat one are worse than the psilocybins. One to figure out.

Pasta and cheese\butter is a great meal

Pasta and ketchup (my mind says revolting) is tate prize winner.

Don't quite understand how a 'worst veg food' thread made me quite so hungry for first 3 pages. Yum yum on the tofu tips, deffo.

Dalepak Grills are bad news tho, walk away from the freezer.

They were left from the summer bbqs-pissed me off no end-happy to have a both meat and veggie bbq at mine but when people came over, they would bring the poshest meat known to humanity for themselves and as a sop to the veggie whose house the bbq was held at, fucking dalepack veggie grills cheers for that 99p kindness you have shown to me..enjoy your Duchy Organics sausages

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Ach, make your next bbq strictly veggie only and then watch them suffer
