Can we have a Vegetarian topic please?

55 replies

I've been searching for a vegetarian topic area after going veggie last week. It would be lovely if we could have somewhere for recipe sharing and product inspiration.

I see we have a vegan topic so could post there but 1. I'm not a vegan yet and 2. I don't want to upset the vegans by asking for recipes that include eggs or dairy.

Thank you :)

I agree that most posters on the vegan threads are brilliant, but still think that occasional po-facedness means veggie and vegan better as separate topics.

Another one in favour of a separate place for vegetarianism!

I think people have some very weird ideas about the vegan topic tbh 😂. Not everyone who posts is vegan but posters tend to be very respectful towards one another. Fair enough if everyone would prefer it to be a separate topic though.

Very good idea, and I'm not even vegetarian. I would lurk for recipe ideas.

justforareply · 27/04/2019 23:03

I'd like this too
I was going to post a best vegetarian recipes thread tonight and a separate vegetarian board would be a great resource

Bunnylove83 · 27/04/2019 22:29

This would be great please!

Thanks to everyone who's posted - there's obviously a fair amount of interest in this. We'll definitely give this some thought and see what can be done.

I'd like a veggie section too please. Dd is veggie, and we try and have a few meat free days a week as a family. But eat a lot of eggs as have our own chickens and I love cheese too.

hazeyjane · 27/04/2019 18:51

Or we could change the vegan topic so it's a vegetarian/vegan topic instead?

I'd quite like it to be separate. I could do without 'cow milk pus' comments!

hazeyjane · 27/04/2019 18:46

Yes please!

Dd1 and I are veggie....some new veggie recipes we could do would be great

spongedog · 27/04/2019 18:43

Yup cricketmum84 - remember that too!

But yes to wanting to be able to discuss cheese and egg without having the big conversation on food choices.

@spongedog and the people who offer fish as a vegetarian meal!

"Here I've cooked some salmon pasta for the veggies" Hmm

Definitely needs to be separate to vegan. I'm happy to eat vegan but I also want to eat cheese etc sometimes and really cba to argue about that decision.

TrixieFranklin · 27/04/2019 18:21

Another yes please here!

Whippet75 · 27/04/2019 18:14

Great idea, yes please.

spongedog · 27/04/2019 17:56

Coffeetable you are bang on the money with that. But dont forget the obligatory pasta meal for Christmas!

TheABC · 27/04/2019 17:34

Another one here. I want to really cut down on meat (flexitarian?) and get tips without upsetting anyone. Especially as I have two young kids who dislike anything "green!".

ballooningmum · 27/04/2019 17:20

Yes please!

bagpiss · 27/04/2019 16:47

I'd like it too.
I've been veggie since I was much younger but Coffeetable, that made me lol as you're so right!

cushioncovers · 27/04/2019 16:41

Definitely have a separate one to the existing vegan one. They are two different diets/ethos.

Onatreebyariver · 27/04/2019 16:27

Yes i'd like a veggie topic please!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/04/2019 16:21

Yes please!
