Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 That sounds similar to us. The vegan meal in Cardiff sounds like a good idea. Let us know what you have. We usually have nut roast in flaky pastry, with sausages and rashers, brussels, broccoli, carrots, roast potatoes and parsnips, and stuffing. Last year insted of Christmas pud we had syrup pud as everyone seems to like that better.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi, We don't really celebrate xmas in a big way but we have fallen into a pattern of having a few close friends round on xmas eve for a vegan meal, going to my elderly Mum's on xmas day and my friend's place (his elderly father is 82 and does not like change) on boxing day. My friend's sister usually cooks. She does sprouts, parsnip, mashed potato, carrots, gravy and veggie burgers for us and she and father may have something meaty instead. Unfortunately Mum does not understand vegan food. In particular she does not understand that a vegan meal needs nutritional balance. I have bought her vegan recipe books but she does not seem to like cooking new things. Can you recommend a UK source of how to cater for vegans at xmas which I could send her? .. , " jo " <jo.heartwork@g...> wrote: > > I love sprouts and broccoli, any vegetables really.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I haven't looked at the Vegetarian Society website this year, but they usually have a Christmas section, and some of the recipes may be vegan. My favourite book is Rose Elliott's Vegan Feasts, which has a section for Christmas. I find that lots of normal restaurants/pubs don't understand that vegans need a source of protein. Very often their vegan dishes are just vegetables, and may taste nice, but is not well balanced nutritionally.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 When I was a kid we had breakfast of porage or cereal - dinner at school which was dinner and desert, and then sandwiches or something on toast in the evening. Now I can't face breakfast before I go to work so I take a soya yogurt to eat when I get there. I take a sandwich or rice salad for lunch, with an apple and banana, and then have dinner in the evening. Jo - peter hurd Monday, November 28, 2005 7:49 PM Re: Re: Chrimbo.....
