The vegged up 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread

Those doughnuts look exciting!

For the past three days I've had sweet potato and kidney bean soup. You can't see the beans, they're hiding at the bottom.

Sweet potato soup is the king of all soups.

Because it's really hard to mess up :P

I have a blender you can borrow.

parsnips in soup is the nicest.

You can have the deaf one.
And I know how to make soup! How can you not, you just cook stuff and blend it.

yes coz they're sweet.

I'm going to make stuffed courgettes tonight.
Cook some quorn mince with onions, peppers. Scoop out a few courgettes, chop them up into the mince, put the cooked mixture into the courgettes...sprinkle over some crumbled feta and bake in the oven for 20 minutes!

Tagliatelle, Porcini Mushrooms and White Truffle Oil for dinner (vegan)!

Was there a distinctive flavour from the truffle oil? It was probably that what made it so expensive! I've heard it's delicious.

Quite a slap up meal indeed, that dessert looks like a tower, must've been hard to eat without it falling over!

I've never tried either, unless they were truffles of a chocolate variety. I'm not sure if my curiosity would ever get the better of me to the point of paying to try them though! Maybe when I'm really rich and stuff.

Ah, sorry, I don't know if I could tell the difference. I was starving and though it looking nice, I focused on the eating. I never eat truffle or truffle oil, and it's been years since I had pasta with mushroom and a creamy sauce that I couldn't tell the difference. It did taste distinct All the mains were about £8 or £10 and this was on the pricey side... I would say it is the real thing because the restaurant owner is famous in the cookery world and so I'd expect it (Aldo Zilli).

Oh, and that dessert tower - it held it's own! I kept taking side pieces, but eventually I feared its collapse may cause a mess, so I pushed it over myself


Today I ate at Tibits, a place which Mark Hamill was telling us about here. Its a buffet, so you take what you want. I loved the onion rings - best part!

I must add some of this to the Pictures and Places thread when I am finished my trip to London...

Was at a pub near Earls Court in London yesterday that looked like ever other typical london pub and expected the standard pub food offerings which it was but was surprised to find they offered a veggie version of nearly everything on the menu [including veggie fish and chips which was battered halloumi cheese and chips]..made a nice change to actually have to think about what to order rather then just going "whatever the one veggie option is please"

Lidl - get them frozen in a packet. Even says suitable for vegans on! yummmm

Win for dinner in work! Went over to the girls who cook all the food up in our catering unit and told them it was really hard for me to eat there as I usually only had the option of eating beans and chips or some carrots. They told me to tell them when I'm in and they will either get a ready meal or make sure they have a veggie option for me! Delighted! They made stuffed baked potatoes for me today! Pets!

I had mac and cheese (Ready meal) before I started too. I was delighted to be able to eat something substantial before and during work.

Just so everyone can see... Thank you flikflak!!!

No problem guys! They are my guilty pleasure in a warm baguette with lashings of ketchup. I figure when you are eating healthy fresh stuff 90% of the time you deserve an indulgence!!
