Vegetable pigs trotters

[Abank-Fan]

Tomorrow I will be serving pigs trotters for some friends and one of them is a vegetarian. A I don't want them to feel left out I intend to fashion one out of vegetables has anyone got any ideas? I was thinking of making the bones out of asparagus, the trotter out of mashed potato died pink and the skin out of quorn strips? Any better ideas?

with respect, if your friend chooses not to eat meat then he/she might prefer that her vegs didn't look like meat?

What The Funicular...

woofgang I often make my food shaped into real life animals, historic scenes etc...Just the other day I made an "Egyptian Pyramid" Lasagne. Its kind of like my thing and my friends and family are always enquiring what will I do next!
Poodicat what does What The Funicular mean?

but an egyptian pyramid isnt an animal, maybe make her veggies look like somethong but not an animal

[Abank-Fan]

Maybe I could make a reliant robin like the one on only fools and horses out of yellow swede mash so it stays within the theme of "Trotters"?

[4getmenot]

ok

[sara3]

can't you just arrange the veg so it looks like letters and spell out "DEAD PIG"?

bet they'd love that :o)

[Abank-Fan]

Sara or the words "Swine"

You could use a sweet potato for the "meat", tastier than mash and more or less the right shape.

I can't think of an answer to that, sorry.. you're on your own!

At the risk of being called a sad person by some people on here - you could make the pigs trotter out of a whole artichoke and go from there

[boxtops]

Do your friends know you are serving pigs' trotters? I think I would want to know beforehand!

reminds me of that scottish guy on come dine with me who bought pigs trotters for 30p each and everyone hated then!

I wonder what cow's hooves taste like...

A bit like their eyes, sara, but more squishy!
