    ok maybe the thread should include reasons why or whatever you have to add about it apart from your name ;)

    there's already 3 sexy mods gettin it on in here and i have heard of two of them so it should be ok :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    delighted this forum has finally been created.

    I'm not a vegetarian but my girlie is and thus i suffer from some of the issues the rest of you do such as finding decent restaurants (besides indian's) to eat in and recipes for interesting, tasty and exciting vegetarian food.

    Thus, Might i suggest two threads: Interesting recipes for meals Boards users have personally made and enjoyed and Restaurants which cater for vegetarians exclusively or have a varied and substantial vegetarian section (ie, not a normal restaurant with a sole uninspired veggie option)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    ill try to get some recipes up when i go home and i dont know that much about restaurants yet,i just wander into the ones with vegetarian above the door,i will look around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,128 ✭✭✭sweet-rasmus


    yey! i've been vegetarian for about five and a half years now :) and 3 of my bestest friends are veggie too :p yey!!

    I was veggie for 2 years, thinking of going back to it. :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    /pokes her ...go on :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭comet


    Yay!! The forum is here, I've been veggie for 13 or 14 years now.
    Funny I met this German guy on holiday last year, he was 44, he had been a veggie for over 20 years and last year he said he suddenly decided why bother and started eating meat again and he said he is loving it, I thought it was really strange, just shows you got to watch yourself even if you have been a veggie for a long time............


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    /looks over shoulder..


    ah! it's meat! :)
    maybe you are right but it kinda disgusts me now,maybe that will keep the meat outta me for now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Gazza22


    Oh and Tar for Mod! :)

    Agreed, he has done alot of posting ect to get this forum off the ground.

    Well congrats anyway fro getting this forum, it should have been here along time ago. I'm not a veggie yet so i bow my head in shame :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 85 ✭✭kestrel

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    well gazza,'yet' sounds like a good sign :)


    edit: and welcome kestrel,good to hear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Gazza22


    Oh believe me, i'm working on it....as i have mentioned before, i will have to try give up my love for chicken! :o

    So far i don't eat meat anymore, but the food that i practically live on (chicken) is going to be a challenge.

    I will be a veggie, i'm determined

    heh cool,try the quorn substitute like ckicken to see if you like it. oh and the other ones too...linda mccartney sausages aswell....ive never tried most but a lot of people i know like them and needed a substitute to quit meat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Gazza22


    Yep i have anyways been meaning to try quorn...will do


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,451 ✭✭✭embraer170


    Bought a pack of Linda mccartney a few months back and found they were bit too salty and tasted too much like meat.

    As for Quorn, I avoid it cause it contains eggs.

    Last time I checked the sausages (8 pack, 280gr) don't.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 plink


    ooohh okay, maybe they don't, sorry. i know the burgers have albumin in them though.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    its meant to try and taste like meat no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    I tried the Quorn sausages and they taste a bit weird, too spicy I think. People have highly recommended the chicken varieties though.

    Do the Linda McCartney sausages have good amounts of protein? They seemed to be totally vegetable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭DSLC


    Greetings - I stopped eating meat about a year and a half ago; and started weening myself off dairy products a little over a year ago.
    It's nice to see that a forum has been created for us - it's like a little oasis of peace and sanity :D !

    welcome!!!

    tried quorn chicken nuggets,excellent!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭comet


    eating quorn is like wearing fake leather......i don't do it


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    if its a reason of taste i could understand but otherwise i think it is fine to eat the alternative as it is a great way to get off meat in the first place and it has a good bit of protein.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭comet


    ah yeah its a good substitute i guess for people who like meat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,128 ✭✭✭sweet-rasmus


    eh, so long as there's no eating of meat, or wearing of leather.... i figure, do what you want! i guess it helps to appear normal the odd time... blend
