Do you have a problem handling meat
(Oh fuck. I forgot to deactivate the euphemismometer and it has asploded)

as that really dictates what you can work with?

nope
no problem with handling it or chopping it or whatever. i just don't want to put it in my mouth.

that's not what we've heard, etc, etc, two elephants and a cymbal fall off a cliff.
What sort of thing do you want to cook? showy or just tasty? do you want to have a similar dish for the veggie contingent or something completely different?

i do not know what you are implying
just something that doesn't kill them all off.

i am thinking maybe lots of booze and a thai takeaway menu might do the trick.

Veggie food.
It's your fucking house, eh? Do something with those large field mushrooms, they're quite meaty...

true
but i always feel it's rude to force vegetarianism on other people. it's not like i have principles, i'm just fussy!

s p +after all

Also, while I'm not a fan, I've heard you can do magical food by grilling those large flat mushrooms, and adding whatever (I think Monty would be more helpful here)

goats cheese or feta cheese
drizzle of pesto and some pine nuts

You can't force vegetarianism on someone
by cooking them a veggie dish, it would different if you were out and you refused to let anyone else order meat dishes while you were at the table.

if anyone did this in my earshot
it would be the one thing that would annoy me enough to make me actually eat some meat in protest.

i would prob be sick straight afterwards though, it's been about 18 years since i ate meat!

It's been about 18 minutes since I last consumed a dead animal.

Is that a record?

i need to go to the bank now, this means i will be up near m&s for lunch instead of the usual stuff around here, hoorah.

It used to be a cow
but by the time it got to me it had been cooked, ground up and cured with large "corns" of salt, and put in a strange trapezoidal shaped can.

I do love corned beef.

Some cows are cute.
Limousin females are, I think.

With the big eyes and the lovely colouring, yes :D
According to Wiki they make good beef. I like them even more.

CORNED BEEF?
oh god you are bringing back horrific memories of sandwiches at school. that stuff was feckin rank. it's like dog food, you don't need to put it anywhere near your mouth to know exactly what it would taste like if you did.

i bet you like spam as well.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 13:02, Reply)

I haven't had spam for over 10 years
But I liked it back then.

I would argue that if you're prepared to eat a Macdonalds Burger or any sort of supermarket sausage, or a doner kebab, then you can't complain about the content of spam.

Corned Beef on the other hand, is wonderful, you can make carned beef hash, or put it in spaghetti bolognese, or have it in sarnies with ketchup. Mmmmmmm, yummmy.

As an argument
that only really holds water if you are happy to eat meat when invited round to theirs, though.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 13 Dec 2010, 12:47, Reply)

No it doesn't
They have no objections to eating vegetables at all, so they aren't compromising anything by consuming a vegetarian meal.
