A Veggie and Vegan thread
Discussion
For what it's worth I did Vegan back in the late 80's and I mean proper Vegan as in cream crackers not allowed as contains whey powder!!
After about 16 months i had a nervous breakdown due to lack of certain essential minerals needed for proper brain function
i vividly remember my Mother sitting me down and virtually spoon feeding me with corn flakes with milk.
Apparently I'm better now

It would be great just for once, if as the OP intended, we could discuss veggie/vegan food without the questions and opinions about why, what eating veggie/vegan means to you or others, now or in the past.
For example, people don't’ question those who publish their dirty take-a-ways on another thread. People aren’t constantly called out for eating crap food, quite the opposite, they are celebrated for it.
Let’s focus here on sharing some good veggie/vegan food and nothing else, please.

As a devoted carnivore, I still enjoy dishes which qualify as both vegetarian, vegan and are also delicious. Bring it on, with recipes if possible.

Good idea and hopefully we can keep this a food thread and save the “why and what about protein st” for another thread..
I make a great hone made pesto using kale/spinach anything green, nutritional yeast, pine nuts, garlic, lemon, basil, seasoning - my youngest loves it will post a pic next time
You can also meke a nice pesto with avacado, pine nuts, salt, olive oil and basil leaves. I myself have not added nutritional yeast to it but I imagine that you could.I make a great hone made pesto using kale/spinach anything green, nutritional yeast, pine nuts, garlic, lemon, basil, seasoning - my youngest loves it will post a pic next time

to be fair, if you posted a thread in general gassing wanting advice advice on which new suv with under 150gram carbons was best you'd have suggestions ranging from 12 cylinder barges to fool fat range rovers. Baiting vegans is just the culinary equivalent, and that's without opening the whole "ethically better" can'o worms For example, people don't’ question those who publish their dirty take-a-ways on another thread.

Not convinced about the avocado though, doesn't it make it quite thick?

I'd really recommend the nutritional yeast, it gives the pesto a similar umami flavour to what you'd get adding parmesan. Also gets some vitamin B12 into the dish (which is what you need if you don't want to have a vegan mental breakdown ).

Not tried avacado will give it a go although like the fact I’m getting kale and spinach into my daughters diet! Used cashew nuts before which are good but u have to soak them and I never remember to do it in time! Not convinced about the avocado though, doesn't it make it quite thick?
I often have some veggie / Vegan meals - not because I am but because they look/sound rather nice and I always like to try new things.
Last night was a Joe Wicks / Gousto meal.
Smoky Tofu nuggets
Chips and bbq beans
No pictures unfortunately but it was very nice. Following this thread for ideas as I generally cook a veggie or vegan meal once a week.
