What do all the TiBB Veggies/vegans have on Christmas Day? I'll still do a Turkey for the kids and our other guests but myself and Gav are having Quorn Roast instead of the meat. We tested it out last week and it's surprisingly tasty :love:

Tbh I would just have all the trimmings but put a bit more effort into them.

Mash w/ carrots
Rosemary roast potatoes
Cheesey cauliflower and broccoli
Sautéed sprouts with vegan chorizo
Just whatever I'm in the mood for
Most premade stuffings and gravies are vegetarian

It's not really necessary to replace the turkey with something, for me.

I don't know what I'm having this year because my bf's sister is hosting Christmas. I'm going to bring a vegan apple crumble as my contribution though.

i also have cheese with cauliflower :love: mostly i have cheddar cheese with cauliflower

i do cumin flavoured cheese with other potato/vegetable dishes, the cumin seeds in that cheese are a nice flavour to go with the dish, extra spicy element i call it

as for carrots my fave vegetable, we have a traditional dutch dish called ''Wortelstamp'' which basically is carrots, onions, potatoes all in one pot and you mash it all together, your kitchen smells a lot from this but it is really tasty

Thats a good point, if you are a vegetarian why would you need to replace the meat, just have more veggies

Pre made stuffing is gross make your own :nono:

I like vegetarian chili but I make my own, I have tried quorn but I don't like the taste or the texture, also if you look at what is in it, it doesn't look very healthy

Niamh.

Some of it is really nice and some is pretty awful. I don't mind the mince quorn, fish fingers are disgusting, most of the "beef" burgers are awful. The southern fried chicken stuff is lovely, sausage rolls are really really nice, it's hard to even tell the difference with those. Oh and there's cheese and broccoli chicken quorn in bread crumbs they're really tasty.

It is quite processed though, I would only have it maybe twice a week, I mostly just cook veg stuff.

Of course not...even though it is a term of endearment in Scotland. ..something you may want to take into consideration the next time I use it.

Have you tried the Quorn chicken nuggets,? they are delish even my kids prefer them to real chicken and guaranteed no nasty gristle

I just have extra veg usually and my mum makes me gravy seperate so there is no meat in it. I don't even like the look of meat so i am fine without a substitute.

One year though my aunt cooked me a big mushroom stuffed withveg with cheese and cranberry and it was gorgeous!

I made a vegan Wellington from scratch yesterday, it was brilliant, might make one to take with me for Christmas in case the options are mediocre.

What did you put in it?

I made basic shortcrust pastry in my food processor and for the filling you can use anything really, as long as it's not too wet. I had grated carrot, riced califlower, spinach, quioa, mushrooms, onions, garlic, oregano and a tiny bit of powdered stock. Most supermarket brands of stock don't have animal products in them, even if they are "meat" flavoured, I just google the e numbers to make sure and it's usually fine.

This picture I took is not great, I had already started eating.

I got the idea from this older vegan version of Jedward but my filling was quite different.

The Quorn southern fried chicken and the chicken nuggets are AMAZING.

I don’t mind the mince either.

Or Linda McCartney sausages.

I can’t rememebr what I had on my Christmas Dinner during the year I was a veggie actually. I used to mostly just have Sunday roasts without any meat substitute tho.

I literally wouldn’t miss meat at all. Don’t know why I don’t still do it.
