Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I just bought the Tofurky 3 1/2 lb. complete dinner. It feeds 6. On the internet from the manufacturer it lists for $49.95 plus frozen shipping which I think is around $15.00. Last year I had ordered it from this web site. I just now happened to find it at our local Sun Harvest store and it was on special sale for $17.95. Since I hadn't found it there before, I grabbed one (actually, the only one they had). But now for the problem. This is much more than I can eat. Wanting to share it with others, I asked friends and aquaintences if they would like to get together for Thanksgiving and I would provide all the food, vegetarian of course. None of them wanted to forgo eating the corpse of a dead bird as well as numerous other animals, so declined my offer. Although most invited me to their house for a dead animal body part dinner. I declined as I find it very un-appetizing to watch the dismembering of a dead animal on a dining room table. Being in the southern-most part of Texas, where Texas dips a couple of hundred miles below the northern-most border of Mexico, I'm sure there are very few, if any, vegetarians in the area... at least I haven't found any. And I have tried. I suppose I will just fix half and save the rest for Christmas when I will have the same problem. There will still be plenty of left-overs for snacking for a few days after. I don't mind eating alone but it would be nicer sharing a vegetarian dinner with like-minded people, especially if there are some in this area with the same problem as I. I'm not complaining or looking for sympathy but I just thought that someone in this group might have some suggestions that I havn't thought of in finding other local vegetarians.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 William, I found this site (which charges a fee, so in my book it would be out, but thought I'd send it along) http://vegetarian.meetup.com/create/?ic=sn3 Vegetarian Associations Directory (quite a few in Texas) http://www.vegparadise.com/directory.html Maybe local churches or senior organizations would have ideas. I think it's great that you are looking to share your meal. Hope this helps. Let us know what you find out.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Most of the vegetarians I know I have met through my volunteer work with animal rescue organizations. You might also try starting a veg. group or " club " type of thing in your area. Make lots of posters, put ads anywhere you can think of. You might find a group of people that want to get together once a month with a veg. potluck. This won't help in time for Thanksgiving but would be fun to do.
