Can I somehow report them so they can be moved please?

talkingnonsense - yes please.

It's the same with the gluten free recipes- should we comment with the red ! on them too?

I was complaining about people not using the right word up thread ^

Pescatarian - the official term for someone who doesn't eat meat but does eat fish (according to my friend who is one).

Surely you say "I'm pescatarian" and if they say 'what?" you say "I don't eat meat but I do eat fish".

OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly · 04/09/2013 20:34

It is not easier for people to understand vegetarian if you eat fish, all you are doing is making more and more people think that vegetarians eat fish. Please stop it.

I've just gone through and changed as many of these as I could find (and there were A LOT). The system takes a while to catch up so odd ones might get brought up in the search results for a brief period, but after that they won't.

However, we're dependent on the Mumsnetters who add the recipes in the first place not to click 'Yes' on the vegetarian don't know/yes/no option when they're including chicken, tuna and - yes - beef in the recipe.

You can also report recipes by clicking on the red exclamation mark beside any comment on it. If there aren't any comments yet, you have to add one and report it that way.

What can i say hugoagogo, DH is away this week and i'm obviously missing him

Ponders · 02/09/2013 20:40

maybe MN Techs could add a flag when the vege alternative is clicked?

"Are you sure this is vege???"

That would be ideal yes; but when people are submitting recipes themselves I imagine that might complicate things a bit too much.

I really wouldn't to put people off posting their recipes. There are some really good ones on there.

OP posts:

Ponders · 02/09/2013 20:07

well, I agree it is nice to suggest alternatives, hugo

but they could be posted again with the vege substitutes in the vege category instead, couldn't they?

(NB I have no axe to grind, am not vege or pesce or vegan )

There is so much confusion out there, which is why I think it is so important to correct stuff like this.

To be fair though, some of those recipes that come up when you do a search are meat or fish recipes in which vegetarian substitutions have been suggested, which is fine I think.

I was once served with tuna & prawns when i ordered a vagatarian salad in Scotland

It's shocking how bad veggies are treated sometimes. Even my own mother tries feeding my veggie DD chicken every time we go for a visit.

superbagpuss · 02/09/2013 18:54

I eat some fish but say I'm veggie as it really is easier for people to understand

however meals in a veggie section should be completely veggie or vegan friendly

Ponders · 02/09/2013 18:34

Kate, the "vegetarian" meat recipes have gone now (well done!) but the "vegetarian" fish ones are still there

(ie search for fish recipes & tick vegetarian box. There are 13 of them )

Oh dear

Sorry about this guys! We'll get our content team to sort this out asap - though it might be a wee while, what with it being the weekend.

Have some in the meantime, strictly no tuna.

TheContrastofWhiteonWhite · 31/08/2013 15:39

Especially loving the one that specifies turkey or beef mince. At least some you could say could be made with veggie sausage or whatever
