At home, no meat in the kitchen so see how it goes.

Top recipes veggie people please. Got a load of quorn to try and make into something tasty... |  |

Lots of good Italian veggie recipes... I like making caponata and there's plenty of meat free variations of things like risotto and panzanella.
Just remember that the Italian hard cheeses contain animal rennet so aren't vegetarian. |  |

Only one tip I’d recommend is to avoid buying highly processed meat alternatives. There’s an almost unlimited variety of veggies, beans, lentils, nuts, fruits and seeds, etc., and loads of recipes online. Best to make from scratch imo and it’ll be healthier. It’s a bit more faff, but you can batch cook and most veggie meals freeze well.
When you go full hippy you can get into sprouting your own shoots and fermenting stuff (I’ve not been there, but it seems to be all the rage). |  |

Something I've wondered out loud and not sure why I'm airing it here......... but here goes.......
In the same way a steak restaurant will put on a vegetarian dish or two to be fair to the people who choose to live that way. Should a vegetarian restaurant not put a meat dish or two on the menu for the people who choose to live their life that way? |
This is an incredibly daft question. |  |

Meera Sodha's East and Anna Jones' One Pot One Planet are the two recipe books I use the most at home.

The other main thing i've learned being a veggie at home - Tofu marinated well and then cooked in an airfryer is absolutely delightful [Post edited 17 Mar 8:46]

Erm, i could be due a whoosh but it's a pretty obvious answer, right?
People who eat meat can still eat things without meat! | | | |

While I'm not a fan of meat substitutes, a shop bought Scotch egg is also incredibly highly processed and contains a lot of old shite too. | |

As many have already said food from certain cultures/countries lend themselves more to veggie diets than others. Another good friend can be a slow cooker. So easy to just chop and bung in loads of veg, pulses, tin of chopped tomatoes and, depending on the herbs and spices you use, you can go Italian, Mexican, Indian, Thai.
Have to say I love me a cauliflower and chick pea Korma curry. Takes about 10 minutes to chop and fill the slow cooker and you’ve got four portions sorted. |  |

They aren't as processed, and at least they contain a whole egg, which is good for you. | | | |

My top crowd pleasers are Homity Pie: Open pastry case stuffed with as many steamed veg as you can fit in, stirred through with a bit of grated cheese, lots of parsley and a stock cube, then topped off with more grated cheese and parsley. Bloomin' lovely.
Or
Steamed veg mixed in with cheese sauce and baked. Serve with toast. Fab.
Lidl's Thai green curry paste is veggie - no fish sauce. A tin of coconut milk and your veg of choice. Quorn fake chicken pieces, flash fried, go well in it. [Post edited 17 Mar 10:07]

But they are processed and full of additives and high in saturated fat. They are also the product of the suffering and death of an animal. That they are slightly less processed isn't the flex you seem to think it is. | |

Had a lovely lasagna last night.
I always feel sad when I see the herd getting loaded onto the double stacked trailer.
My mum used to say they were going on there holidays 🥲 [Post edited 17 Mar 11:00]

Sounds to me like you need to think about your choices, mate. When you see animals and you can't bear thinking about eating them should you really be doing it? | |

I eat cows. Dead ones obviously. Live ones would be difficult to get on the plate and I’d need a bigger knife and fork (Desperate Dan style). Right, tin hat and trench time.
Enjoyed roast beef on Sunday. A nice hunk of topside, cooked to perfection by Mrs C, roasties, green beans (grown by me last year and frozen) gravy with a slice of white bread to soak up the latter. God, it was good. Monday: cold cuts thinly sliced with my old ‘Croydons of Ipswich’ carving knife that’s as sharp as a razor, salad, lemon potatoes, a little salad cream and a couple of pickled onions. Mmmmm
Vegetarian stuff? Really nice - with meat.
As it goes, I’m fine with non meat nosebag every so often, a proper mushroom risotto being an absolute favourite. Indian and Chinese vege stuff is good too. Variety n all that. But offer me a rare treat of a full English, rashers of smoked back bacon, good sausages oh yes, happy days! An elephants leg (kebab) after a night out is a bit of a go to treat too.
My mum was a vegetarian but didn’t impose it and actually cooked meat for the rest of us - which looking back was good of her really. She as a child obviously ate anything and everything, given money and food were in short supply in her family but with choice in later years, she just didn’t want it.
Each to their own. Poached Salmon and pineapple for tea! Sounds crazy, but it works! |  | | |

I’m like that when I see people out walking their dogs. I always wonder if those late night keebabs were really ‘lamb’.  | |

As others have said, good luck with it and I hope it goes well for you.
I went veggie just over a year ago. Would never go back to eating meat now but would have never imagined making such a change. 99% of what I eat now for main meals is based on chickpeas/lentils/kidney beans/baked beans (sometimes altogether in a big chili with a bag of quorn mince too). |  |

Interesting point, slightly.
Two of my sisters went vegan when teens and would not allow met on their chopping boards and utensils.
If you go to India, you have veg and non-veg restaurants - in the former you will not get any animal products. Same principle. In Jain restaurants, you might get non-Jain foods and service at non-Jain times (Jains are vegans and will not eat root veg when strict, and will not eat before sunset). |  |
