Veggies ??

[Mrs C.]

Well - to all you non-veggies - I have just returned from a very good school lunch - crudites (well, sticks of carrot and pepper at least) with a choice of 2 dips, vegetable pasta bake (admittedly with cheese on top), a choice of a selection of salads which included a green salad, potato salad, rice salad, leaf spinach and black olive salad, tomatoes. roasted vegetable salad..... followed by ( a rather sweet!) lemon meringue and cream. Oh yes, and a bread roll if I`d wanted one - or soup(with croutons).

I could have had quiche, cottage cheese or tuna with my choice of salad (and ham etc for the carnivores), or the vege.bake or a vegetable casoulet as a hot meal with sweetcorn and broccoli and potatoes. There were also cold desserts such as fruit salad.

Now no doubt some one will correct me, but I reckon that`s a good selection , considering that some pubs can not stretch to more than glorified cheese roll for vegetarians......

[AKAP]

Bears no resemblance at all to the food of the 60's and 70's. (I'm pleased to say)

[Great Plum]

It's missing meat though isn't it?

Surely not.

Fish are vegetables!

I only mentioned what I would have a choice of!!

I think there was lasagne or something - but I never bother to look at the meat options, as I don`t eat it!

I know, but that's the trouble with veggi options - no meat...

[Mrs C.]

Yes Matt........

Actually, I don`t think you`re allowed to have a slice or 4 of meat and then ask for the veggie bake!

Prawns are vegetables, as is a bacon sandwich, but not tuna.

[Euterpe13]

Indeed, and why ? because tuna is known as " the steak of the sea", ergo tuna is really meat ...

[Richard Ruck]

Well, OK, perhaps those tuna seeds were an unwise purchase.

They'd never really grow in chalky soil anyway.....

[englishangel]

I'd go and find that old woman if I were you, and take your cow with you, she might give you some magic beans.

[Richard Ruck]

Oh no she wouldn't!

etc. etc. ......

Time to stop this - it's getting silly!

This sounds a bit like a female colleague whilst on a calorie count diet explained to me the female perspective.

You don't have to count the calories from chocolate as long as nobody sees you eating it.

[englishangel]

broken biscuits don't count either
