Can't see him sticking to it outside of your house hon but if you feel strongly you should go for it. If he really doesn't.................... he should cook his own dinners lol xx

Well I def think its worth a go. Now I just need to get a couple of cook books and run down the freezer - if I don't buy the meet the he can't eat it. How long til he's moaning do ya recon? I know - I'm mean making him go along with me but hey ho....he'll live.lol

Off to bed now - he's pretty tired as I had one of my talk in my sleep nights and woke him up at 2am telling him he had to get up for work - unfortunately he didn't realise I was asleep OR that it was 2am, until he was up. Whoops!!! lol xx

Hon if you seriously want to do it - I'm with you all the way - I'll even forgo my own bacon sarnie - til the minute you drive away lol xx

I think I can do it - I'll make myself do it otherwise Muffy will be on here grassing me up the min a bacon butty reaches my mouth. lol

Tesco's here I come..........although not quite this minute. xx

Eerrrrr........I'll have to make sure I'm full up before I get to you!! lol x

Anyone who seriously wants to follow a vegetarian diet these days will find it easy given the wide range of quorn/soya products in many supermarkets. Many everyday meals such as Shep Pie,Curry, Chilli, Bolognaise, Lasagne , Stew etc can be enjoyed using these products when time is limited to follow the time-consuming recieps's in cook books.

Hey if you want a tuna sarnie after a 3 hr drive - that's fine. Trouble is I can't see you being so enthusiastic lol xx

That will be a tough one I have to admit BUT you know me, stubborn is my middle name. lol

I still say you'll never say no to a bacon sarnie lol xx

Well you learn something knew everyday!!!! My mum's already told me I can poke it if I think she's going to cook me anything different - nice ah.lol

Got a freezer full or meat stuff to eat before I can start.lol

I was a vegetarian before you knew me Laura for about 3 yrs lol. It wasn't that tricky for me in those days as I used to make my mum cook for me !!! xx

Nice Buttercup, can't wait.lol God help me OH is bad enough at the best of times!!!! lol

But be prepared for a lot of flatulence, Laura:-) lol BC XX

oh yuck sheep, lungs etc inside a sheeps belly....oh no lol

Sue, I completely understand what you are saying and that is one of the main reasons why I've never done anything about it in the past.

GOOD FOR YOU LAURALIL . I NOT EATEN RED MEAT OR CHICKEN SINCE 1965 WHEN I WAS 8 AND I AM AS FIT AS A FIDDLE . MY MOTHER IN LAW USED TO SAY , WHEN MY CHILDREN WERE YOUNG HO THEY WONT GROW WONT BE CLEAVER DA DA DA DA DA.ETC. WELL THEY DID GROW AND WENT TO UNI ,ONE IS A SCIENTIST . SO MUCH FOR THAT THEORY. AS FOR WHAT I EAT , BUT I DO EAT FISH AN FEEL GUILTY ,IT HAS A FACE. AND I EAT CHEESE AND EGGS.KEEP IT UP LAURALIL X

Do you think so Marion?
Look fairly harmless to me LOL
Mind you, I eat black pudding!!

maggie

lmao at muffy - you can always rely on ya mates for support. lol.

I'm convinced but can't say the same for OH, he's well against it but I normally win. I just wanna give it a go. I might find I hate it and it will be hard to resist muffy waving a bacon roll under my nose.....lol

The latest thing I've watched is Hugh's Chicken Run - its gross and even the free range aren't looked after as well as I thought they were. I have also watched the kill it, cook it, eat it just all a bit grim. One of my main things is, the rubbish most animals are fed to feed them up. The diseases going through live stocks is increasing too - not really what I want to eat.

If I could afford fresh good meet direct from a local farmer or something then I might be a bit different...but I can't so I think its worth a go.

So you won't be joining me muffy?lol.

oh, dont know about texture...it's the contents lol

i have been veggie for abt 18 months now, but wasn't a big meat eater before anyway.
it was Gordon Ramsay taking his pigs to slaughter that made me take the leap !!

anyway, i make chilli, just add more peppers, sweetcorn, mushrooms etc instead of mince,
bolognaise & cottage pie the same way, you can get veggie mince but i dont bother anymore.

if i have fry ups, use veggie sausages, vegetable stir frys, fajitas with vegetables, roast veg dinners with extra yorkshire pudding instead of meat !

there are a lot of veggie frozen foods about too, i find Tesco & Asda have best choices.

if you do eat fish, it would be pescitarian(sp)

oh and they also make veggie sliced ham/ chicken for sandwiches, theyre ok for a change.....

good luck in deciding
