Vegetarian Christmas

[Professor S]

In my opinion vegetarians know what they're getting into when they decide to forgo eating meat. They should shut their whining, patronizing, superiority complex having, patchouli stinking, hippie mouths and enjoy the side dishes.

On a more serious note, my advice would be to offer a simple vegetarian alternative as not to alienate the meat eaters either. If baby wants meat at Christmas, baby GETS meat at Christmas.

Advice: Don't try and "mock" a meat dish with a meatless product (EX. godless Tofurkey). There are many hearty stews that you can make as a vegetarian alternative, such as curries and ratatouille that are easy and do most of their cooking in a crock pot. This allows you to have the meatless alternative, and not have to bust your ass for those freaks.

Believe me, I'm not removing the god given gift of turkey and ham from the menu.

I just don't want to do the same type of alternatives I did last year; An asian salad with pine nuts and mandarin oranges, italian rice salad, feta stuffed mushroom caps and a couple other things I pushed from my memory.

There of course shall be yams/sweet potatoes whichever you prefer to call them, and stuffing. But that is hardly a meal on it's own.

To be fair, I don't mind busting my ass making meatless food for them - being my sister, nephew and brother in law and all.

I've never made a curry before, maybe I'll give that a shot.

AMEN! Best advice ever. Vegetarian dishes can be delicious and healthy (like vegetarian chili...mmm) without being embarrassing.

Apparently nobody reads initial posts.

The last line was in fact "Things that are not tofu-related", which would - I assumed - get across the point that I was definitely not considering any type of terrible mockery.

If youre so concerned with trying to find something they would like, just ask them what they think would be a nice Christmas meal.
