We're Having a Vegan For Tea.


Recommended Posts

Vegetable curry with chickpeas and a selection of other veg/potatoes, with coconut milk used to add creaminess.

Easily as good as a meat-based curry, vegetables tend to absorb more curry flavours while cooking IMO.

Just make an ordinary curry and pick the meat out for the veggie.

My granny either didn't understand or didn't care for vegans/vegetarians, having lived through some pretty bleak times when food was scarce.

She'd simply offer to cut the visiting vegan's steak/mutton/bacon into tiny pieces for them if they didn't want to eat it.

My mate was brought up a vegetarian, never ate meat in his life even when we've egged him on while drunk.

His dad refused to eat any vegetables that were pre-cooked and would eat everything raw. That must be shit.

Glass tap of water, slice of dry toast, and a firm boot in the pie.

Would it be acceptable to go to a vegan's house for tea, and tell them you only eat meat?

Post 29 before the boot in the pie came up, which I thought was inevitable for a vegan on here.

Interesting question in para 2.

The secret is to use a ham or chicken stock cube which miraculously takes any vegan meal from 'bland pish' to 'very tasty'.

Vegan cooking is pretty difficult. In order to get something remotely good does take more time, effort, and ingredients. Using beans like chickpeas or haricots is always a good starting point, as it provides the stodge.

Despite that, curry is always a good shout. Leave out the meat and stick in chickpeas and some king of starchy vegetable and you are laughing. Potato, brocolli, pumpkin and/or cauliflower always do the trick. Plus if you are insistent on meat you can split the exact same curry and have one vegan and one meat with almost zero extra effort.

Plenty of great tasting vegan salads as well but at this time of year no-one wants to eat salad. And they are usually a pain the arse to prepare.

You must be having a falafel.
