vegetarians/vegans... what are you having for Christmas dinner?

[thisisyesterday]

I am uninspired.
we're veggie/vegan family here and need something lovely to make that will go with a roast.
am a bit bored of nut roast

Definitely NOT Tofurkey. It was so terrible that even I couldn't eat it!

Ooh those Christmas pies look gorgeous and I suppose I could leave out the mushrooms for fussy dds. Thank you.

Thanks also for the stuffing ideas - I love chestnuts so anything with those in sounds good to me!

We are going to attempt to make bombay potato and spinach filo pie, as seen here

i am lazy and make packet stuffing, which is generally vegan!

for christmas we buy a posh one instead lol

those christmas pies look good too. decisions decisions!

when i started this thread I didn't think i'd get many replies, so it's been fab to see all your suggestions and ideas

That bombay potato pie looks good too but for some reason, much as I love curry, I don't fancy the flavour of spices for Christmas Day. I rather fancy Simon Rimmer though, so will need to ponder the recipe some more!

that bombay potato pie DOES look delicious, i might have to try that too, but not for christmas

I did a mushroom & chestnut wellington last year. Haven't decided what to do yet this year, but if I can't think of anything else I will be doing it again!

SingingSands I cooked something pretty similar here for a friend's 40th birthday bash. It went down well with everyone from my 6 year upwards.

I would love to eat Indian food on Christmas Day but we're invited to my sister's and she's a bit more traditional. Maybe next year!

I am th only veggie in the house so I make myself a nut roast and then just eat the usual accompaniments, which are roasted veg, mash, yorkshire puds, etc. This is the nut roast I make and it is wonderful, makes plenty and freezes well.

I'm definitely looking up some of the alternatives now though!

DH (also veggie) has been great doing the lion's share of Christmas dinner over the last few years, and it has been a big help especially when DCs were little.
I'm feeling like maybe it's time for me to have another go at a homemade nut roast though and get some Yorkies on, also some interesting gravy, stuffing, and bread sauce as DH has gone a bit overboard in his love of packet mixes ! Bless him - Does a good tray of roasties and parsnips though !

Actually, now I think about it, isn't it the lionesses who do most of the hunting anyway ? And possibly not a suitable metaphor for a veggie thread anyhow ?

Just collecting vegans - there's a dedicated thread here - all welcome!

We're trying the Vegusto roast for Christmas, with a Redwoods Cheatin' Turkey too, as the Vegusto roast is a little on the small side.

Wow Nohun, how did i not know about that site? may have to pay a visit but will have to be well in the new year having just spent £90 at Goodness Direct and well over a hundred at veggie pets .

It's new, earlyriser, I think it's only been up for a couple of months. I ordered their newby bumper pack, it is very expensive, but very very good. The moo-free cheese is phenomenal! They sometimes do offers, so worth keeping an eye open.

It's always good to find something a bit different. Must admit, even though i hated pretty much all meat when growing up, i'm a big big fan now of fake meats (Fry's Polony i'm talking about you in particular!)
