Could You Stop Eating Meat

[emmie]

and become a vegetarian. BBC programme on Monday i think suggest that we could or more importantly should. I don't think i can live without certain foods.

[ummmm]

I like roast pork but bacon and sausages could disappear for all i care.

I also like sweet things with meat.

Spinach isn't noticable thrown into casseroles or other dishes. You can't even taste it. It's full of potassium which I lack, so I always have a pack in the fridge.

Fowl and fish are classed as white meats.

[ummmm]

Nellie - have you tried it frozen? I always avoided it but turns out it's pretty good.

[ummmm]

Andres - so what is salmon and tuna classed as?

[albaqwerty]

it's nice that plants have a chance to accompany meat.

Gammon Steak and pineapple, roast beef and horseradish, pork and apple sauce.

just an observation, nothing more.

They are classed as meat. The whole red meat/white meat is relatively recent.

[andres]

No idea. Just going off the fact that last week one of the patients in a ward that I was visiting had a notice above his bed that said---''-This patient is allergic to white meats'' and when I asked he said chicken and fish. Never gave salmon a thought.

[ummmm]

To me...living on land is meat, living in water is fish/seafood.

[NellieMay]

It is good Ummmm. My mum used to put a poached egg on hers, but ì don't like eggs. I have always loved spinach since childhood, with butter and black pepper. My grandparents were greengrocers - perhaps that is why I love veg. They were always plentiful.

[ummmm]

I really like it as well. More versatile than people think.

My gramps owned a butchers and greengrocers.

I once ate eggs Florentine and since then I can always, always taste the spinach. To compensate, one of the best meals I have eaten (and love) is poached egg on mashed avocado on sourdough toast. On the other hand, the avocados are imported. :(

my grandfather had a fish shop - he was a sole trader down here and he owned his own plaice....
