Help I have veggie foodies coming for dinner

[CountessDracula]

well one of them is veggie
one eats fish
one doesn't eat lamb
the other eats anything

So I guess I could go for a combo starter eg antipasti type thing with some fish and some veggies

What can I do for main?
Not pasta pls

Or alternative starters welcome

Pref stuff than can mainly be prepared in advance?

Was thinking something mushroomy maybe?

yes, struedel does look vile, sorry, well it looks ok but in fact it would be vile

do good chips and dips for starter, poncy blue corn chips and poncey pesto with spiced nuts and good mayo and crudites,

i love the chillis stuffed with goatscheese you can get at waitrose deli counter, for nibbles

when trying to impress neighbours, it is best to look as though you have just thrown something together rather than slaved: If you look like you've slaved they will think you have no life and are a snob but if you through together the best of everything you will have achieved casual, enviable elegance.

This always impresses veggies and meateaters alike mushroom wellington

love a nice vacherin too

God,I so can't be doing with logs of unidentifiable vegetable matter.

also have a thing about fennel

either roasted

or sliced v thinly with pink grapefruit, shallots and dressing made from the grapefruit juice

droooooooool

I did consider baked vacherin with almonds I must say

SPRAY!
I bet veggies get enough of that in their own lavs

have you ever been to Germany and crapped in one of those lavs with a shelf?

aubergines

I actually don't want to slave!

Simple and yummy will do

I must confess when I was a veggie i never once found Vacherin in my loo

Good vacherin is out of season atm.

Actually I think that might be the ponciest thing I have ever typed on mn

what is poncy about that?

PONCE!!!!!!!!!

oh you PONCE PONCE PONCE PONCE!

that is HI-larious

you big PONCE

Yes SW.
It was better than living in Russia and putting used bog roll in a plastic bin.
Unspeakably grim memories of a weekend of 8 people sharing a two bedrommed flat in depths of winter.

I just don't get the penchant for mashing up vegetables.They are great, why hide them?
A bowl of lightly steamed young 'uns with some aioli would be great.

Are you any good at cooking curry? Could do potato, chickpea and spinach, with mutaar (?sp) paneer and rice. Buy in some naans and do a fish or meat curry as well if you wanted. Followed by good ice cream and biscuits maybe.

Olive oil in the bottom of a le creuset pan, 3 cloves crushed garlic, 2 chopped onions, a handful of torn basil leaves, 2 thickly sliced aubergines, a carton of passata, a tablespoon of capers, a couple of tbsps of olives (green, black, stuffed, sliced - it doesn't matter as long as no stones). Serve with shavings of fresh parmesan and more torn basil, good bread and a crisp green salad. Foody heaven.

actually you are wrong
it is until teh end of march with shit ones lingering on til may

so says the interweb

Not curry

One of them is indian and curry expert I don't think I could compete

OK - get back to your cheese wars

CD - I did www.waitrose.com/recipe/Mediterranean_Tarte_with_Fresh_Pesto.aspx this last week - it was a piece of piss cake and really tasty - even the 'tearing-flesh-from-bones' menfolk went for seconds!!!!
Served with mixed rocket salad and warm potato salad.
Really only took 10 - 15mins to prepare.

Excuuuuse me Moondog - That wellington is blardy delish I tell you! Not at all unidentifiable lovely tasty chunks of chestnut mushroom, tearragon ... and I am not at all defensive

Still a nice simple tray of Roasted Mediterranean veg in a good quality olive oil with rosemary and garlic always looks and tastes lovely if you like to keep the veg semi whole

Well yes but an afficiando wouldn't dream of eating vacherin (and it must be Mont D'or) after February
