It's true, lots of products are vegetarian these days and the number is seemingly increasing.
Actually, one vegetarian food I hate is tofu. I don't not see how this is a suitable replacement to meat. Quorn (however it is spelt) is nice though.
Tofu's mainly a replacement for the protein in meat so it's more a health substitute rather than a flavour/texture substitute. I'm not a big fan of it either but sometimes you have to bite the bullet when it's the only veggie option available.
There's only one way I genuinely like it. Small sweetened blobs of it in filo pastry and deep-fried. I don't know what they're called but they're very nice. A bit like a dessert.
Quorn is great stuff. I often have breaded quorn made up to look like a chicken escalope and apart from being a bit looser than chicken, my brain pretty could be fooled that it has had chicken.
Soy mince is good too for chillies and bolognaises and keemas. And I actually prefer the new veggie sausages than meaty ones.
I eat fish, eggs and milk, so I only just have one foot in the veggie camp at the moment. I have been full vegan and that was indeed hell. All credit to vegans who stick to it.
Ah, you eat fish. That technically makes you a pescatarian, though most people don't know what that means so it's easier to just call yourself a vegetarian.
I would never give up eggs or milk. They are fundamental in so many foods like cakes, and hell, where would humanity be without fried eggs and chips? No where I tells ya. We'd all be cavemen eating meat from the bone and carrots straight from the earth.
Yeah, I'm a lacto-ovo-pescatarian but if I say that, most people ask me which God I believe in. I swear I've had people think it was a religion. I've been every variant of vegetarian in my life and (with the exception of those people who eat fish and chicken), this is as close as it gets to meat-eating. Also, I really can't imagine a life without cheese or yoghurt or milk shakes or egg fried rice.
The four foods you mentioned that end of your comment? I only like one of those! Milk shakes are awesome, but I hate cheese (unless it's on something like pizza), I dislike yoghurt, and egg fried rice is alright, but I'd take boiled rice over it anyday.
Actually, one simple dish that I ADORE (and people never understand why when I tell them) is boiled rice with sweet & sour sauce. Seriously, I'll go into a chinese takeaway just to order a portion of rice with a small tub of sweet & sour sauce. Something about it... I don't know what. But it's oddly addictive to me.
Whats your favourite food??
