Recently been cutting back on meat intake, normal autistic trait from young, only really eat processed meat.
Tried some of the new vegetarian sausages today, ‘THIS isn’t pork sausages’, really enjoyed them and the texture is really good. Some brands have been vile. Would be interested to know if anyone else has found some good veggie alternatives on the market. I do cook some vegetarian meals from scratch, interested more in off the shelf for when busy.
This is not medical advice but if you cut out or reduce meat consumption be careful of b12 levels dropping. You can only get this from meat products or additional supplements.
Now I know why you're going to Brighton!
I visited Brighton once, it was a great place. I got reprimanded at the all you can eat salad buffet at the Harvester.
Caulifliwer grills, and bean burgers
I prefer vegetable dishes, although I use Quorn mince to make shepherds pie, occasionally. There are so many veggie options now!
i think vegetarians also eat fish too and claim that fish is seperate from meat or not meat in some way but is fish which is seperate from meat somehow.... i dont get that logic but apparently some people say fish doesnt count as meat lol
I’m virtually vegetarian, have meat maybe a couple of times a month.
my absolute favourite are quorn nuggets! They’re a very safe go to food for me!
I loved the Richmond veggie sausages but as with a lot of things I think I had them too much and have now gone off them.
I much prefer things made with vegetables rather than fake meat. Cauliflower cheese burgers are really good!
I am trying to replace meat in my diet with vegetarian alternatives. I think that vegetarian replacement for meat products have come a long way in the last few years. I think real meat will become more expensive in the future for enviromental reasons. I don't know the environmental impact of the vegetarian replacement for meat products though.
I like the Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages, burgers and sausage rolls.
I also like the fake bacons such as "This isn't streaky bacon" and the Richmond "Meat Free 8 Smoked Rashers". Nice on a roll, I don't like the idea of eating real bacon anymore.
I also like Quorn mince as well, can be cooked with sauce etc. Some of the vegetarian roasts are tasty as well.

You don't want to know what they sell the creme fraiche for ....
S&M is one of those shops that sell whips and chains. You really have surprised me. I now see you in a whole new light.
Back to the drawing board for me.
Roy said:I do use crème fresh in cooking now, it’s just a bit better calorie wise.
The last time I checked that, in S&M, the creme fraiche was higher in calories than single cream ...
Vegetarian sausages are really nice better than meat ones
I tried going veggies once but it limited my diet and food intake
.... And then suddenly I've got mental health people telling me I'm not eating the right stuff and I'm trying to starve myself..
I'm still a vegetarian but I've got to deal with the anti autistic professionals who love interfering in my day to day life.
Cheese is my big downfall, it’s just too nice and safe, I do use crème fresh in cooking now, it’s just a bit better calorie wise.
I get the Quorn marinated tofu chunks - don't know what they're officially called, but also really good in stir fry!
I am about to do dinner which is going to feature veg sausages - they are from a brand called 'meatless farm' I think. They look good! I got them through my regular Gousto box - I also prefer to avoid meat for many meals a week so hence why I picked these over regular sausages.
The other bugbear I have about the trend for vegan food is that when you eat out now almost everything is vegan which I don't want.
It takes all the things I like out such as cheese, and cheese, and cheese but also normal pasta, cream etc.
Veganism appears to have pushed vegetarianism to the sidelines on menus.

With lashings of lemonade ...
Good tip, thank you.
LOL that is true.
FYI if you are ever at a Gourmet Burger Kitchen on a whim, the veggie burgers are smashing there.
