# not that i've ever had it...
...but the basic mix of vegetables + nuts in a broth isn't something i don't eat regularly anyway. most of the cooks i know at some point try to replicate something they've eaten or adapt a dish to their diets.

# I'm not vegi at all, but...
...it has always struck me as odd to create mock versions of meat dishes.

# Quite.
 
I've tried textured vegetable protein sausage, and it's equally as revolting as regular sausage.

# i do like tvp though.

# Yeah, this Indian place I go to for lunch sometimes has a soy nugget curry, which is mighty tasty.
 
but it's not trying to be meat.

# I'm a vegetarian
But I see no point in veggie haggis. I tried haggis once, in the pre-veggie days, and it was ok - but I doubt it could be somehow improved by making it out of vegetables.

Sainsbury's own brand meatfree burgers are the best, they barbeque up real nice and don't drip fat all over.

# i think it odd, too.
but a lot of omnivores create mock versions of restaurant food (particularly fast food - there are books about it) and versions of cuisine exotic to them, so it can be seen as just part of that pattern.

i know someone who made mock ketchup (not a tomato sauce or chilli sauce, but an attempt at heinz ketchup) a few times.

# I can understand that veggo's like to join in at a barbecue, so I have no real problem with vegetarian sausages as such.
Why anyone would want to take this to such an extreme as to make a can of vegan haggis, I will never know.

HEY GUYS, I JUST CARVED MY STEAK INTO A BUNCH OF LENTILS.

we had crazy pasts here tonight - anything in the fridge was chopped up and put in the sauce.

# I can BBQ for Vegs.
Squash, and many others hold well on the grill.
Several soak up sauce and glaze quite nicely too.
Just put their proten on the side and in the afters.

# Veggies can cater for themselves when I'm cooking.
If someone tells me they won't eat what I've spent all day cooking for them, it's their problem not mine.

I guess that's why I don't throw dinner parties.

some of the culinary abominations i've been served have no right existing outside of torture chambers.
