we made Shepherdess Pie some years ago for a vegetarian visitor, it only has veggies in it, no protein substitute at all


.... she had it for her main dish, the rest of us had it as our veggies

No hiccups / hiccoughs (whichever) tonight Jeanie.
Just the one as a settler, as they say.

Never heard of Shepherdess pie Sylvia.
Have used Quorn quite often (so much easier ... but a lot more expensive) but I prefer the real thing.

Dab hand at cooking since we got the new induction hob... all computerised, no knobs ...brilliant !

I found the recipe in a vegetarian cook book that was brought into the office where I worked ........ copied it out, didn't I???

Just in case I might need it ....... one of our nieces had become vegetarian, after she'd lived in Namibia for a time, and literally had a cow killed in her honour in a small village.

Where did she think meat came from before that then ????

Well I'll try again. Thought I had just posted - maybe I didn't click on submit. Well, it is getting late.

Mine's made with lentils Sylvia. Is yours? I do the same as you serve it with chicken for those who eat meat and for the veggies just the additional vegetables.

Noted no hiccoughs and that you are a dab hand at cooking Michael.

Michael

she made friends with an African girl who worked in the same town, girl took R back to her home village, cow was killed, and meat eaten still bleeding but burnt on the outside

Two things got to R ......... the still bleeding almost cold meat, and the fact that it was a poor village and this was the family's only cow that they had killed in her honour


Jeanie .... no it doesn't, we don't like lentils, and we didn't have to add any more veggies, as it has about 6 or 7 different ones in there anyway.

I don't blame for that ... I hate rare steaks.
Daughter number 2 called for the chef after being served a rare steak in Paris and told him to re-light the gas and try again !

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

yes


I like medium-rare!


OH's father used to like well-done .......... Maitre d' in one restaurant said he could have that "if you insist, but we do not guarantee such steaks"


In other words ....... don't send it back saying it's tough!!

Sylvia - exactly what my sister said about lentils until she agreed to try the shepherds pie. Changed her mind. Thought it was great.

Must say I cannot bear meat with blood showing - but cannot remember the last time I had steak anyway. Avoided ordering it in restaurants after a few tries - never seemed to be the way I liked it.

These 4am starts don't sit well with me at all.
Going for a wee snoozzzzzzze.

Snooze away Michael. Off for my toddle before bed.

Got waylaid by a phone call - never got my snooze.
Should sleep tonight though !

Enjoy your walk - it's quite balmy out there tonight ...
....
I said Balmy !

Generally a nice calm walk the late night one. Relaxing.

Generally ????

You mean last night's walk was a bit a gallop ?

( I'm sure gallop is the wong terminology for a dog but....)
