Veggie Treats For During Football

[storminabuttercup]

First post in the food section - can anyone help.

Staying in on friday for the footbal - i'm preggers and cant be doing with drunken people falling all over.

OH's friend is coming and is fetching his new GF is veggie.

Normally for the footy i would do a huge curry, steak sarnies, a chilli, burgers or something.

however i dont like the idea of doing something different for the meateaters and different for this girl. i dont want her to think ive just not thought about it - because i have - i really want to make her feel welcome.

This is not a huge dinner party - just snacks - in fact i could manage a dinner party i reckon - its the snacky stufff i struggle with.

One idea was to get a few pizzas (asda create your own) and make up some tasty salads and homemade coleslaw etc -

does this sound boring - also i'm unsure of what cheese is counted as veggie....

any ideas grately appreciated...

Veggie samosas and onion bhajis always go down well with the omnivores. Mini cheese/tom pizza bites. Chips, crudites and pitta breads with some hummus, cucumber raita or salsa dips. Cheese (and other dairy products) is classed as vegetarian as are eggs. If she was vegan you'd have to leave them off the menu.

Thanks chil - i'd read somewhere that parmesan had 'cows remnant??' in therefore isnt veggie - which threw me!

Do your normal chilli, but up the beans/lose the meat for some of it to have a veggie version as well?

I'd do pita bread that people stuff with salad leaves, tomatoes, humous, felafel (warmed) and chopped up feta, then load up with chilli sauce. you can put everything out in little bowls for people to help themselves. If you want to make them snacky, go with mini-pitas.

cheers loadsa ideas :-)

Mexican bits.....nachos, quesadillas, guacamole etc.
Yum.

Cheese has to be labelled with a 'V' or suitable for vegetarians or it isnt

Good on you for thinking of it, i always have to explain not all cheese is to sales people in shops etc

Cow's 'remnant'................rennet?

littleducks - good point ill have a good look.

zandy - yes that'll be it - like i said i read it somewhere was not entirely sure what i'd read

scrap the above - on further investigation i dont think this girl is veggie - she just doesnt eat meat - apparently she eats all cheese and can eat things with meat just picks it out

oh and she doesnt eat vegetables

his last gf was fussy too

strange :-)
