ICTJohnboy Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Got an old friend descending on me for a few days who is now a vegetarian. Anyone got any decent recipes or suggestions for veggie ready meals that taste like real food? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Travelex aren't bad for online rates but are terrible at airports. I'd think about a Revolut card for using abroad in ATMs and shops. For cash Tesco are often good but it's worth shopping around. Used to use Currency Club online for delivery to home, but they aren't that competitive anymore unless you want thousands. Tbh I just pop into the post office and buy a hundred euros in small notes before travelling, and use cards most of the time when I'm away.https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money/Usually a good place to start when weighing up the various options of cards/pre-pay cards/cash etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be followed by " everyone assumes vegetarians like mushrooms/tofu/salad...it's ok, It's fine really, it looks lovely..." Tell them to fùck off now, it'll save time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On learning that Emma was vegetarian, Nana replied : "Oh dear, what a shame, that must be awful for you" "What about these wafer thin ham slices, wouldn't you be able to eat them?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum made a Hawaiian pizza for him. "Mrs L, I'm vegetarian now". My mum "it's just wee pieces of ham though". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
