    What will you have for christmas dinner? Are you cooking or going somewhere else for dinner? Will everyone at your christmas dinner be vegetarian?

    Is the reason that nobody has answered this is because vegetarians here will be skipping out on christmas dinner?

    mmmmm xmas dinner. last year i made a tofurky.:D this year i'm going to visit and spend xmas eve night at my mothers.. so xmas dinner will be whatever she cooks.MEAT!:eek: i'll have to be a bunny and just have salad and bread. but i decided to bake some vegan goodies to bring along. banana almond bread and peach cobbler. i'm not going to tell them that i made them vegan or they'll all act like its poisonious.:rolleyes: funny. but whenever i do make something vegan to share with my family.. they finish it off.. UNLESS i tell them its vegan .. :confused: then i have to eat it all... which really isn't a bad thing at all.. MORE FOR ME!

    I'll be having a traditional roast, with home-cooked nut loaf instead of turkey.

    It looks like I'll be scavenging for fruits and crackers while the rest of my family eats rotting flesh to celebrate the non-birth of Jesus :sunglasse

    I reckon I'll be having peppered Quorn steaks and vegetables, while everyone else tucks into the dead poltry.

    Well since I am nota vegi I gonna eat a nice wine soaked buffalo roast, turkey with all the trimmings, pie, cheese, and proud of it!


    As for all you vegi's out there! I am glad you stick to your guns when at family and if they were kind they would go out of there way a bit. I made a vegi spagehetti once when a couple vegi friends came to visit. Lots of chunky vegi's in it. As a meati (haha) it was not all that bad to me a dnwe all had a good time.

    For my christmas dinner i got:

    Rice porridge (rice boiled with milk)
    Potatos with homemade cheese and coriander
    Savoy cabbage stuffed with homemade cheese and almonds
    Deepfried spicy potato swirls
    Beetroot salad with horse-radish
    Spicy spinach with homemade cheese
    Caramel-lemon flavored semolina pudding

    With the exception of the rice porridge (risengrød in Danish), which everybody eats, I made the rest myself.

    Regards

    I grate a carrot and courgette, finely chop an onion, a stick of celery, some spinach and some garlic, and then fry in olive oil until a mushy consistency is attained.

    Next, I add lots of finely chopped nuts - brazils, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts and a smattering of sunflower seeds. Then I add wholemeal breadcrumbs. I flavour the mix with a dash of soy sauce, a good load of sage, some marjoram and maybe a bit of vegetable stock. Once that's done, I add a beaten egg to bind (vegans could use soy flower as a binding agent).

    Finally, I layer half of the mix in a greased loaf tin. I then add a layer of grated cheese and sliced tomato. I then add the rest of the nut mix on top and press the whole thing down firmly to compact it. I then scatter some flaked almonds on top to garnish. Then bake until cooked. Don't ask me about quantities or times as I do everything by eye. If you need a more exact recipe, I'm sure there's a few floating around the web somewhere.
