Kebabs are awesome
Although I wouldn't have the asparagus on the kebab I would wrap them in foil with some nyommy dressing and leave them to sit on on the BBQ for ages.

and make sure any cheese (or products with cheese in) are vegetarian friendly.
Some cheeses are normally made with rennet - pork or beef, boiled feet and stomachs and shit like that.

Most cheese seems to be veg friendly now though, but I have a habit of checking.

You're not a vegetarian for moral reasons though,
so does that really matter?

True, I only did it so I'
fat fingered fail, I only did it to eat better. Why not stick to it as they would?

because there's no health advantage.
it's not a religion, you don't have to obey all the "rules" so that you get into veggie heaven.

edit: although it's good to point this sort of thing out to someone who has vegetarians coming round.

well true, I disagree about the health benefits though
Stopping eating steak regularly, fried chicken, low quality burgers, salty bacon and whatever..and eating much more fresh fruit and veg?

I'm not a militant vegetarian, or vegan..the militant viewpoint is ridiculous haha.

I mean there's no health advantage in worrying about rennet in your cheese.
We eat vegetarian up to twice a week, partly for health, partly because it's cheaper.

I used to know a vegan, he was strict about what he'd buy for himself but wasn't that fussed about cross-contamination and the like, which I thought was fair enough.

The reason you're eating better isn't really because you've cut meat out,
it's because now that you have cut meat out, you're thinking about what you are eating a lot more.

although most people in Western society tend to eat too much meat.
especially red meat.

Yeah.
But you can cut down on red meat without cutting it out all together, it's not an all or nothing thing.

I got some amazing vegitarian cheeses down Borough market.

it's disappointingly difficult to find non-vegetarian stuff these days.
maybe I WANT lard in my apple pies.

good idea
cheers - especially the kebabs

quorn is weird,
it disturbs me slightly.

One of the best vegetarian things I've had is veggie haggis. I'm not entirely sure what's in it, but then, that goes for the meat ones as well.

i love quorn
it tastes like eating slightly eggy SCIENCE

I think that's exactly what I don't like about it.

I've had their weird sausage things
they don't look a bit like proper sausages, and if real sausages taste like that, I have no idea why the things are popular. They also made my back teeth itch.

That would be quite nice, esspiecaly with a sweet-chilli glaze or a satay sauce.
You could do that tempora style too

I saw those quorn scotch eggs yesterday.
I liked the look of them.
