My mum has been a vegetarian on and off for most of her life, she has been steadfastly vegetarian for around 5/6 years now and is very near to being vegan.
Kerrie said:I eat meals with meat, and vegetarian meals as well. Personally, I would feel very ill if I ate vegetarian all the time as I have been borderline anemic for awhile. Beans don't cut it for me either, I need to have some meat now and again, especially since I am currently pregnant.
One of my favorite vegetarian meals however has lentils, okra, stewed tomatoes, corn, cumin all served over rice. I love to eat fresh salads and pasta bakes with zucchini, peppers, tomato sauce and cheese too. I would say a majority of my meat eating though consists of shell fish and poultry--tempura fried oysters are my biggest weakness currently.
I'm sure you can get some on the Orkneys or Shetland Islands.wolram said:Arildno, i do not know where to buy whale meat, i doubt if it is sold in the UK,
and i like whales.

I like whale, too...

I ate a lot of self-picked mushrooms yesterday (without the whale); also yummy.wolram said:Just had some black current summer pudding, yummy.

No, if I were to compare it to something, I'd say it tastes a bit like liver (ok, I know that isn't an animal, but it is the best I can do), but is a lot better.

When I looked at the picture of the horse mushroom, I suddenly realized that it was probably edible (and tasty) toadstools I picked, rather than mushrooms (I've never understood that distinction).wolram said:Horse mushrooms cooked with garlic butter, Agree yummy.

I tried being vegetarian for a while (couldn't properly maintain it while at college). If anyone thinks that vegetarian is like eating a bowl of blanched vegetables, then I can understand why it would seem sickening. The standard "western" diet many times centers around meat so cutting out the meat would seem like cutting out most of the meal. This isn't necessarily so with food of other cultures. Definitely experiment with tofu. Make sure to use a lot of flavoring and cut it into small pieces (the firm kind) if you're not too familiar with the taste. Although I'm use to the flavor of tofu, I would say that its value is more in its texture, flavor absorption, and fillingness. Of course, you can't go wrong with beans. As for flavoring, I highly suggest trying Indian food and following some of their recipes.
Good luck!
I'm sorry; I didn't bother to read the dumb views there; I merely saw it contained a few recipes..wolram said:Well they shot them selves in the foot.
On the other hand, even if these whales were threatened with extinction - so what? Species have come and gone since the beginning of time, both with and without human help. Ever seen a Brontosaurus in the flesh? No. Nature's way is the survival of the fittest - and right now, the fittest is us. Getting rid of the whales would simply leave more fish for us - but this is not really an issue, there are plenty of small ugly whales that no sensible person cares about, just waiting to be served up with chips and ketchup.
This is one of them:wolram said:Arildno, what, "toadstools", have you been eating, are you sure they are safe?
