Any Vegetarians in the house?!

[Dana]

it takes us seven days to fully digest red meat and get it out of our system.

so....

I don't understand it personally, not vegetarianism, but the fish thing.

But fair play to you, I like some vegetarian food; I've had quorn instead of sausage in my toad in the hole before, and it tasted nice. Some vegetarian food actually has so much protein you'll have trouble eating a lot of it, Soya I think especially.

Personally, I just couldn't do it. I enjoy steak and chicken WAY too much. But I hope it goes well and you enjoy it Janie. Get on with some creative cooking!

Did you know, that in every animal, we will use upwards of 98% of their bodies to produce? Bones for jello, pig skin for dog treats and burn victims, oils for linoleum floors.... wouldn't surprise me if they used some bone in sugar, or just in the machinery to produce sugar--but that's much better then them just throwing it out, right?

we do use them in sugar. cow bones.

it would be impossible on my budget to be vegan, and i just don't believe in it is all

This was discussed before right? was it you who said your body stops making the enyzmes to break the meat down? that right there steers me away from ever becoming a vegetarian.

my roommate was a vegetarian for two years and he eats meat fine. it has been two months since he started eating meat again

actually the fish thing is kind of selfish

i want to try to be vegetarian for a year just to try a different life style. i am not judge meat eaters or anything


but i love sushi, and that is one cuisine you can't make vegetarian. plus i still need SOME food to eat in cajun restaurants....

Thanks TD! I am going to try it just for a year. I will probably want to quit, but I am going to try it.

Sushi rocks! :thumbup

There's an awesome oriental market in town that sells sushi for a reasonable price. You can buy 12 prepared 'rolls' or whatever you call them for only $4.00

 

[HelpMePlease]

Holy cow. That's a good deal It costs us about 4-9$ for one long roll (like one that they cut up into 6 different peices) and we usual get ones that are at least 7$

 

[JanieDough]

good luck to you

Thanks!

and damn that is good!

Good luck, Janie. I did the exact same thing for 18 months and I actually enjoyed it. The weird thing was that I started eating a LOT of spicy food - it was as though the spices compensated for that 'solid' and 'satisfied' feeling meat used to leave in my stomach.

Vegetable biryani became my staple. I ate TONS of the stuff! :thumbup

mmmm...yum!

the only thing I can't eat is tofu...eck. I have tried it and tried it.

My ex didnt eat red meat or chicken Janie.....so I knew a thousand and one ways with tuna and lentils.

Red lentils are full of protein, and can replace mince in dishes like spag bog, tacos, lasagne etc.


I, however will NEVER eat a lentil "anything" ever again.

lol! they make this stuff called soy meat too

but my opinion on that is that it's for people who really didn't want to be vegetarians because if you are a vegetarian there are tons of alternatives like black beans, lentils, etc.

i love black bean burgers, and black bean meatballs are good too...
