Vegetarian meat !!!

[weeal]

Why do we have vegetarian Sausages, Haggis and the likes? Surely vegetarians shouldnt want sausage or haggis so why not call it something different and avoid meat eaters picking up the veggie option by mistake !!!!! They are almost identically packaged at times.

Oh my lovely whisky sauce went to waste when I discovered my veggie haggis!!!

[Psychick]

You are right weeal, its not meat but a meat substitute/alternative.

Whiffey, I love the Linda Macartney sausages in sandwiches but keep an eye out, they seemed to have changed the packaging and cooking methods and can no longer be done in the microwave.

Yeah I am Phsy -it really is delicious.

weeal -I like meat as well -i have just got one for tomorrow for H (fresh)-so I will definately partake -I adore Haggis -I could eat it until it came out my ears -lol.My pals partner was out shooting today and he bagged a few -so mine is freah and ready to go !

[weeal]

thats my point leg

Kanewood, it matters to me, when I opened up the bag it looked like a bag of rubbish off a joiners shop floor, not meat

[Drisgirl]

You have a point there Leg.
I am not aware I refer to it as veggie meat but I may have.

weeal -you in Perth -I was in Morrisons today -just think- we could have bumped into each other if i had been in Tescos and we wouldnt have known -lol

[weeal]

Dris, you are funny, i was tellin you on sat that I used to live in Perth and now in Glasgow and how much I miss Perth now

all that veggie "non-meat" has fried your brain lol

[weeal]

and how come you say 'good point' to Leg there when its what ive been saying on this thread all along lol

[cruella]

weeal
Nearly did the same as you today.
The veggie haggis was on the same shelf as the proper haggis and I just about bought the veggie haggis.
I have to say I am not fond of it.
We had a Burns supper at work yesterday, someone bought veggie haggis and I nearly threw up.
I will stick to the original version.

[Drisgirl]

O I remembered all that cos I was going into Perth to view the flat.
I somehow got it onto my head you lived in London -that must be another Perth/Scone exile maybe Hussy.

No it takes a lot to frazzle this brain -believe me -well a couple of bottles of wine and then all my dirty linen is washed in public -I spill my guts and even worse I phone Legend for a quick 5 mins............had to shred his phone number and the sod EMailed me it again -so i know its lurking somewhere -lol

[weeal]

Hi Cruella, how are you hon x

Yeah its so easy to buy a bag of the veggie 'stuff' by mistake lol
It just doesnt work for me.

Talking of food........I am Lee Marvin, off now to make myself a yummy meaty curry - tee hee

[Kanewood]

Sorry you got a bag of rubbish - I'd have taken it back! Off now to have a quorn masala.

[weeal]

[Drisgirl]

Sorry Al -good point weeal -youre right I just got confused trying to skiff over all the posts -lol

[messyjessy12]

cheers.yeah it is but some of her stuff is really good. her minced 'beef' and onion pies are nice,try them 1 day,u will be suprised. x

[Drisgirl]

See the thing is that people argue -no names -right -lol -just an observation -that veggies imitate meat but they dont all they do is recognise that the shape,presentation is actually the easiest way to cook -just like the carniviores discovered many eons ago.

[weeal]

waaaaay over my heid Dris lol

[taliesin238]

Vegetarians need protein as meat is humans main source however meat substitutes such as soy, quorn and other stuff is high in protein that is why we have meat substitutes.

Dont go blaming anyone else because you cant read the packaging on something you are buying!!!!!!!

[taliesin238]

I agree with having the different sections though as I feel that veggie food should not be kept anywhere near meat!!!

[weeal]

lol taliesin238, Im not blaming anyone, that was a bit harsh

I just dont understand why it has the same name as, and is in beside, the meat, thats all

calm down
