We eat meat a lot.
This week
chicken
beef stew
roast lamb
spag bol
ham salad
fish tonight
roast beef tomorrow
So if you dont eat meat a lot what meals do you have?
This is not a thread to start a row on meat eating ...just interested.

fish pie ...tick
pasta with pesto....i would be hungry
salad wraps.......i would be crawling the floor with hunger [ i dont think that is a meal its a snack]
omlettes are snacks too.
This is where I have the prob if it has not got meat and two veg i feel i have been cheated.
what would you have with cheese/potato pie?

Cheese and potato pie with plenty of veggies.
Fill an omelette with veggies and have beans on the side and it's a whole meal.
Wraps I would probably do with meat to be honest, although you could add salsa and cheese, with a warm salad with pine nuts on the side.
Pasta is very filling, especially if you eat with a vegetable side. I'd probably do roasted peppers, onions and courgettes.
You can change the way you think, I have.

Most things you make with mince you can swap mince for lentils, quorn or soya.
Vegetable stews, loads of different pasta dishes, pizza, stir fries, curries...
Whatever you want really.
How is salad wraps a snack, but you've had ham salad and that's fine? Surely it depends how many you have, what's in them and how big they are as to whether it's a snack or a meal?

I eat meat but tonight we are having a chickpea and spinach curry, Tuesday we had a roasted veg risotto and Monday we will be having mixed bean enchiladas.
I find all these meals fill me up just as much as meat meals, I just can't afford to eat quality meat everyday.

I was thinking about this just the other day mrschips, I'm afraid the menu is our house is carnivore-heavy too. We've been trying to have a vegetarian day once a week and build up from there.
Been getting into falafels, if that's any help, you can buy a mix in the supermarket and chuck in hummus and loads of salad in a pitta or three. Also jacket potatoes with cheese and beans.
I know what you mean though, I feel cheated if there isn't meat on my plate.
