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......

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

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...

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

broken biscuits don't count either
