Vegetables

I agree, Scunner.
The first time we came to Calis, we went to the market in Fethiye.  Examining something on a stall, I saw a family behind the stall having lunch.  They invited me to join them, pulled up another oil drum for me, and gave me a bowl of green bean casserole, some lovely thick creamy yogurt, and fresh bread.
One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Turkey;  I can still remember it now after fifteen years, that and the lovely, generous, hospitable family who gave it to me.

Agreed Keith
I can happily eat veggie meals when we're visiting but automatically reach for the meat as soon as we're home
Green bean casserole is also one of my favourites Lyndsay and so easy to make too

I think my favourite is either a cheese/tomato pide, the red chilli meze that I can never remember the name of, or the amazing mashy courgette dish you sometimes get on the boat trips. There was a time when even the thought of eating courgette was too much to bear.

My number 2 son, a keen cook and kitchen destroyer, for reasons of conscience and health decided to attempt some veggie cooking.

After a few failed attempts with nuts etc (which even the birds rejected) he turned to the Jamie Oliver “meat free” recipes.

He reported that the cottage pie recipe (involving among other things celeriac, swedes, carrots and marmite) was quite a success and he would be trying it again – but maybe with a few tweeks.

Last night he told me he had cooked it again and it was even better this time as he had added a few extra ingredients.

“What did you add ? “ I asked.

“Some meat.” was his reply.

I have a son, daughter and daughter in law, who are respectively vegan and vegetarian.
Over time, I’ve tried many vegan recipes for family get togethers, and found them all absolutely delicious;  no fake meat, just veg, lentils, chickpeas, rice, nuts and pasta.
