Vegetarian Christmas

candygirl

I've been a veggie for 35 years and this year and taking my xmas lunch round to my unimaginative bro's, cos they don;t know what to make me:eek: :eek: I feel like getting a take away from the Indian at the bottom of the street tbh.I am very hard to please cos I hate meat substitutes like Quorn :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

My ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE veggie Christmas dish is Chestnut Pie made with puff pastry. Yum! Unfortunately, my Mum makes it so I don't have the recipe :-D

When I hosted Christmas vegan-style a few years ago, I made a range to choose from:

- "Doggy Chunk Pie" - puff pastry filled with red wine gravy, onions and soya chunks (my sister's favourite)
- Cashew nut roast (from a packet)
- Slices of peanut loaf - I can't find this anywhere now, but you used to buy it in a can and it's made from 100% peanut. You then just cut 1/2 inch wide slices and roast or fry. Very yummy and extremely easy!

But nothing beats that Chestnut pie with gravy and honey-roast parsnips!

I get treated like the lowest of low, as though i'm being deliberately awkward or something.I've been a veggie since and was 5, and brought my DD up as a veggie too,Guess who was the one who introduced her to roast beef when she was 11:eek: :eek: !!She eats chicken now but that's her own choice!!;)

I have made this for veggie frinds a few times, it's delicious.

We have even had it for dinner ourselves once or twice, and in a household commited to carniverousness, that has got to be a good sign!!
