Can we have a Vegetarian topic please?

55 replies

I've been searching for a vegetarian topic area after going veggie last week. It would be lovely if we could have somewhere for recipe sharing and product inspiration.

I see we have a vegan topic so could post there but 1. I'm not a vegan yet and 2. I don't want to upset the vegans by asking for recipes that include eggs or dairy.

Thank you :)

Hi there OP,

Thanks for getting in touch. We can see where you're coming from - we'll certainly discuss it MNHQ!

DeRigueurMortis · 24/04/2019 02:49

Yes I would like this.

I'm neither veggie or vegan but trying to cut down our family consumption of meat.

It would be lovely to have a place to discuss vegetarian recipes as the OP has suggested.

Or we could change the vegan topic so it's a vegetarian/vegan topic instead?

Just bumping this in case anyone else wants to add their thoughts. Smile

I think a separate vegetarian topic rather than combining with vegan would be better, having been vegan and now being pescatarian I think it would avoid arguments and make two happier spaces

avinitall · 27/04/2019 12:46

I would also like to see a separate vegetarian topic please.

FraggleRocking · 27/04/2019 12:51

I agree - this would be really useful

IsHastingsWifeTheRealH · 27/04/2019 12:59

This would be a great idea so it gets a yes vote from me.

VimFuego101 · 27/04/2019 13:04

Yes please!

Lemondrizzzzle · 27/04/2019 13:07

Yes please

notacooldad · 27/04/2019 13:08

I would be interested as well.

@BuffaloCauliflower my thinking exactly.
I'm in a vegan and vegetarian fb group and it can get quite lively at times! It's all just kicked off over honey of all things.

This is a great idea!

VioletCharlotte · 27/04/2019 13:24

Yes please, a vegetarian topic would be great.

MerlinsScarf · 27/04/2019 13:25

Yes please, that would be brilliant. Great suggestion, OP!

YeOldeTrout · 27/04/2019 13:42

R the vegans that easily offended (don't laugh). They can't mix?

I wondered if a single "Plant based diets" topic could be umbrella for both Vs to swap recipes & tips & rest of us to nosy at or add tuppence. Without having to stray into phillosopical differences. MN gets hard to use with too many topics.

Judeslife · 27/04/2019 13:44

I'd also love a vegetarian only topic, agree it doesn't always run smoothly when mixed with Vegan topic as they are different diets!

WooYa · 27/04/2019 13:52

I'd love this too! I'm a recent veggie and can't seem to find any good recipes/tips on here without trawling through loads of vegan posts

impostersyndrome · 27/04/2019 13:57

I’d use this. Such as to have a moan about posh restaurants advertising meals with Parmesan as vegetarian Smile

rosedream · 27/04/2019 13:59

Yes from me

Alienspaceship · 27/04/2019 14:01

Yes please

JazzyJelly · 27/04/2019 14:18

A vegetarian topic would be great!

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 27/04/2019 14:24

I would love this too please. I'm a week in as well.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 27/04/2019 14:25

Yes please.
It needs to be separate from vegan as they really are different, and I say that with respect to vegans.
