In our household it's about 3-4 times a week. I'm interested to know what other folks do.

Around 2-3 times a week. More if we're feeling the pinch.

Morosky · 28/09/2009 18:14

On average around half the week. DD loves beans and pulses.

TheCrackFox · 28/09/2009 18:16

3-4 times a week.

Proper vegetarian that I could serve to a vegetarian -= hardly ever. I tend to use a lot of meaty stock cubes.

francagoestohollywood · 28/09/2009 18:21

We eat lots of pasta with tomato and basil sauce.

throckenholt · 28/09/2009 18:21

almost never. In a week we usually have one meal based on bacon or ham (eg pizza, panhaggetty or similar), maybe one fish, maybe a pie, and the rest would be mince, chops, gammon, roast etc.

We eat a lot of veg with it - but always meat of some kind.

muggglewump · 28/09/2009 18:22

Totally veggie, 2-3 times, but I don't use that much meat. I tend to use it for flavour with veg/pulses as the filler.

Countingthegreyhairs · 28/09/2009 18:23

We have an official veggie night on Thursdays - it's when our veg box arrives

We started doing this when a town near us (Ghent in Belgium) started an initiative to encourage all their citizens to eat veggie every Thursday - and we thought it was a terrific idea and adopted it.

So at least once a week

But we may eat veggie without really thinking about it on 2 other nights too (pasta and veg dishes - soups etc)

About 3 times a week.Sometimes 4.

OmicronPersei8 · 28/09/2009 18:47

3-5 times a week

Takver · 28/09/2009 19:01

Other way round - we generally have meat once a week.

ShutUpandDrinkYourGin · 28/09/2009 19:08

average 1/2 days of proper vegetarian, but we eat more fish than meat on the other days

applepudding · 28/09/2009 21:10

Only about once a week - if that - I'll do a veggie pasta meal, although I often eat veggie when we go out as I don't really like eating cheap meat

notamumyetbutoneday · 29/09/2009 08:11

2-3 times a week. We are having mushroom risotto tonight.

GooseyLoosey · 29/09/2009 08:14

About 2/3rds of my meals are veggie - probably more if I thought about it. We have lots of veggie means and Dh and the dcs often have fish which I don't eat so when they do, I just have the veg.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 29/09/2009 08:20

2-3 times a week. Sundays roast haunts for a few days and then we have some veggies days to recover

thighsmadeofcheddar · 29/09/2009 08:22

3 times at least. I can't eat meat every night, it's too much for my tummy.

mollyroger · 29/09/2009 08:23

me every luinchtime
As a couple, dh and I eat around 3 meat free meals a week.
my children eat maybe 1 meat-free meal in a deacde. They eat fish around twice a week.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 29/09/2009 08:26

My dh would think the end of the world had arrived if I made something vegetarian. He is a northern bastard and northern men eat meat. (or so he tells me). DD would starve if she didn't have fish or meat too.

MaryBS · 29/09/2009 08:28

Rarely

Cies · 29/09/2009 08:33

Probably about twice a week fully vegetarian. A couple of other meals will be mostly beans / pulses with a bit of ham or chorizo for flavour, so not a great slab of meat. Plus fish a couple of times a week too.

wuglet · 29/09/2009 08:35

5-6x per week (but DH is veggie and I aren't that fussed about meat anyway!)
