this annoys the heck out of me [Vegetarian warning]

[Badvok]

Regardless of what it may taste like, the fact it doesn't contain various parts of animal means ITS NOT A GOD DAMN HAGGIS!!!

If you choose to be a vegetarian, fine. Just don't go trying to mimic the delicious tasty meat items others like to enjoy. You don't see a carnivores versions of vegetables do you????!!!!!

Ha what nonsense like vegetarian Chicken bits or veggie bacon.

[hedgefinder]

oddly I had a vegetarian pizza at pizza hut 3 weeks ago which actually contained quite a bit of minced beef, which was odd..... I say oddly as I hate the fecking place, bad food and not very clean either - unfortunately the kids love it because of the icecream bar, so if they choose thats it.
Luickily I am not a true vegetarian at all anymore, but I can immagine an uproar if a whiney full on panty liner veggie had got that pizza..

[Oakey]

Are you sure it was 'minced beef' and not that stuff they use for 'meat' in pot noodles?

it was the same as their minced beef on the meat based pizza that one of the kids ordered that came with it...

Are you sure any of it is 'minced beef'?

I am not vegetarian but I like trying to do different stuff with vegetables and make a few meals a week non meat simply because it is better for you and cheaper. Hugh FW did a veg cookbook (not a vegetarian cookbook btw!) and I have done loads of stuff from it because it was nice. It has also inspired me to come up with my own stuff too but I have never wanted to use any of this crap. Any of these so called meat substitutes seem to be a kind of 'in denial' type thing and used by folks with no imagination in their cooking.

There are very few 'vegetable cookbooks', but millions of 'vegetarian cookbooks', which annoys me somewhat. I may have to write one...

Ottolenghi's Plenty/Plenty More is what you're looking for.

nope definately didnt, it was definately one of their "vegetarian pizzas" but someone had obviously split the beef when making the other pizza.

Have you informed the Daily Wail yet ?

Then we can have a picture of you looking disgusted pointing at the pizza and find out how much your house is worth

[otolith]

There are so many cultures to choose from with strong traditions of great vegetarian food, and someone chose to eat bastardised Scottish?

Thanks, just had a look on Amazon, they look really interesting. That's three books then!

[Mobile Chicane]

I'd also add Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Easy Vegetarian to that list. In India, food isn't 'vegetarian', it's just 'food'.

Dhal has to be one of the cheapest meals you can cook, but by 'eck it's tasty.
