What are ya planinng on having for xmas lunch?

I'll probably have that realeat veggie roast thingy with the stuffing in the middle, yum yum! And all the roast spuds, yorkshire puds, parsnips etc i can get my hands on! Oh, and i think i'll make bread sauce (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bread sauce).

I have to get something .. or cook something.
I have a nice nutroast recipe too, which I've been meaning to try.. Might be a good time to check it out.
I don't think I'll have any of my mothers gravy though, I'm certain she will put turkey fat or something into it!

What's it like visiting other people's houses for a meal as a vegan? I'd say a lot of people don't even know what a vegan is!!

I imagine this family does, an that this vegan may be sleeping on the floor if she's not quiet.


As for visiting other peoples houses, even as a vegetarian I get a lot of things like shimp offered...

Anybody ever tried making vegan yorkshire puddings? I've tried a couple of times but failed They tasted good but didn't rise properly.

might try some of the recipes from here

not vegan friendly though.
think my folks got a butternut squash roast from marks and spencer - we'll see if i feel up to the mushroom parcels or not.

Thanks Dereko1969 for that link. I think I might try those mushroom parcels this year! I've had stuffed pancakes/crepes on xmas day for the past 18 years and I'm kinda getting sick of 'em. They were nice to start off with and I made a point of not using the same recipe during the rest of the year but need a change me thinks and that look yummy!

I had a really nice M&S ushroom and Nut roast for Dinner yesterday, as well as all the veggies. It was really really nice, especially with the stuffing my aunt made.
