Invite for TCD/DIT/DCU/Dublin college veggies to join UCD's Veg Soc for a Pot Luck

sweet-rasmus

UCD Veg Soc's next event is a Pot Luck on the evening of Thursday the 19th of November. The aim to to make sweet and savoury dishes which are vegetarian, and which can also be egg-free, dairy-free, wheat-free etc. and that everyone shares what they made. As no other Dublin college have vegetarian societies, I'd like to extend the invite to other college students who are interested in joining us. If you are interested, let me know and I'll sent on the info.

What will I make?

sweet-rasmus

anything i'm making (vegan) sticky toffee puddings and my sister is making a (vegan) curry. haven't had any replies yet from ucd veggies, so i hope they get enthusiastic soon! i'll eat without them we'll have a microwave, so heating aint an issue.

As a Trinity veggie, I spit at your UCD invite. We don't associate with your type.

Nah, really though, sounds like a cool idea! I'll do it if Tar does it... :P

sweet-rasmus

you'll just have to come anyway I'll pm you some info about it.

i-digress

I'm a grad student in UCD. I didn't know there was a vegetarian society at all. As I didn't do my undergrad there I don't know many people, so I may pop along to an event...

sweet-rasmus

cool, do come along. the society was only started this year. still waiting on official society status. it's brand new

just bought some plastic plates in IKEA to bring along for people

phic

Ooh I may pop along with a view to setting up a veggie soc in DIT! Also with a view to getting free food...

sweet-rasmus

yey! so, you'll figure out who i am (as I'll be the one running about making sure everything is going well and setting up) and i'll ask everyone if they are "phic", "i-digress" or "bythewoods" from boards

Forgot to say i-digress, hopefully this wil be a good chance for you to meet lots of people.

i recommend you bring a fork or spoon at least - i'll bring the new plates. as we aren't official yet, there are no funds to have these bought already, but eventually we'll have all this sorted.

oh, and if you want me to stick you on the mailing list about events, just send me your name and email address. it's just me sending the emails about events anyhow

i-digress

Yeah hopefully! I was thinking of bringing a vegetarian/vegan friendly jambalaya if that suits? Yay, I'm looking forward to this now

Maybe I'll make some cornbread to go with that.
Oh mi o my ouh!

sweet-rasmus

yum yum

haven't had cornbread in ages is it usually vegan?! *drools*

Anything I make, I'll make vegan.
Just cos I hate when I like the look of things but I can't have them.

So what time does the feast start at? I was thinking about making oatie bars with a caramel sauce; all vegan of course!

phic

Any ideas yet what stuff other people are bringing? I havn't decided what i'm making yet, so if you need more mains, nibbles, desserts etc let me know! I was thinking nut koftas with mint yogurt, but feel i should prob make something vegan!

I wonder can you have alcohol at this fiesta. I could make vodka jelly shots, nom. nom, nom.........who am I kidding by the time I reach UCD there'd be nothing but empty shot glasses.

I'll pm you the details.

Oatie bars with carmel sauce sounds delicious! Mmm vegan

I haven't had many responses with details, but did get one just now to say one girl was making roast squash with spinach (and maybe feta too for the veggies). *nyom nyom nyom* One guy said he'd make stir fry, but vouched that he couldn't cook *cough* cokacolumbo*cough*. I think the nori rolls are on the menu again. Basically just make whatever you are good at i'm deffo doing sticky toffee puddings. I'll think about adding something to that. Prob. something else sweet. I wish more people would get round to replying and letting me know!

There is no need to have what you make as vegan, but me and monellia (on boards) are vegan, so if it can be made vegan easily, we'll love you more, but no hard feelings if not.

Oh, and please email/pm me an ingredients list, just so people who might have particular allergies/intolerances will know what is in what you made.

Muffin top

I think people are probably either too lazy to cook, or there afraid of the potential criticism.

So I think we should set our expectations low, so low in fact that no one even cares if you fail, therefore no one shall be disappointed!

sweet-rasmus

that's what i did last time and i was over-joyed at the result!
