Just ordered some A le Coq from MO. Someone over 21 has to sign for it...

I guess we could add a vegetarian option to this thread's menu. I mean, it would probably be cooked from frozen, as there's not a lot of demand, but I guess we have to cater for all tastes.

So, who wants to post the first photo of their delicious barbecued veggie burger? ... Anyone?... No?... Perhaps a lentil pilaf, then? Hmmm? ...

(Full disclosure: I actually like quite a lot of vegetarian food... but don't tell anyone )

I know. Any Brit. German or Irish would not approve anything outside their boarders.

Whatever it is, it's probably too strong for me at this time of night!

Same here. I'm sticking to this bottle of Côtes du Rhône. Anything stronger would be madness at this late hour...

Not at all. it is actually very nice and refreshing, even on a hot Estonian beach.

Is that a threat or a promise?

Hey, if it's from Missouri it has to be good!

I'm thinking of making a nut loaf tomorrow. Of course, just my luck, I'm all out of nuts, so I'm going to have to use something else

I'm sure I have some beef in the fridge... Maybe I could grind that down into a kind of "nut substitute". I suppose that could work...

Many years ago... in fact, I can say with some confidence it would have been around 35 years ago... I was in hospital, recuperating from a relatively minor operation. Back then, most of the UK (and especially the North East of England) didn't really understand the whole "vegetarian" thing. But, the hospital I was residing in had something called a "nut cutlet" on the menu for dinner, and purely out of curiosity I ordered it. It was shaped, rather invitingly, like a lamb chop (we call some chops "cutlets" over here, depending on the exact cut), and served with mashed potato and mixed vegetables. To be fair, I ate the whole darned plate of food, because I was hungry. But that nut cutlet... well, it tasted pretty much as I expected... to wit: soaked nuts plus chopped onions and seasoning, with some kind of binding "matter" allowing it to be shaped into something masquerading as "food", cooked until brown. I assume the potato and mixed veg were there to add flavour. Certainly, they were the best bits.

I see Hospital food is a worldwide experience.

No wonder we are always glad to leave
