• This is my first Christmas being vegan at Christmas and I am looking forward to it! I have already arranged my food. I have been veggie for 18 years and so I am used to not having turkey and have a variety of different, delicious main courses including nut cutlets , veggie sausages and veggie roasts. This year I will probably start with a full vegan breakfast followed by Christmas dinner with a nut roast- and its really great cause there is always enough Brussel sprouts for seconds!
Roast Veggies; potatoes (with lemon juice), parsnips, butternut squash, sweet potatoes. Roast veg, Mediterranean style; sun dried tomatoes, courgette, Aubergine, onions, tomatoes, Fresh veg; carrots, broccoli, peas. Vegan sausages. Home made mince pies. Home baked bread. Home baked cakes. Too much, in fact!!
• Nutroast if at parents / fried peppers if at sister, veggie buffet at ours. We have been veggie for 9 years vegan for 3 1/2 years.
• On the contrary I think that I can now go through the Christmas festivities with a clear conscious. The availability of alternative food is endless and the limit is the extent of ones imagination in the kitchen. Since I became a Vegan I have enjoyed the food at this time of year 100% more and eat even more that I used to because of the sheer range available.
• I think that it is even easier than being a meat eater as I can remember trying to clean all that animal fat and grease from baking trays/tins. The oven would also be caked in this stuff so it was a major operation to clean up the kitchen after the dead animals had been cooked up.
• Over Christmas I tend to eat stuff like:
Nut roast (sometimes in pastry) with roast parsnips, Brussels and Chestnuts, mashed carrots and swede with soya cream and pepper, veggie bacon wrapped round veggie sausages, mint peas, roast potatoes in garlic and rosemary, grilled tomatoes and basil etc.
Other food includes: Baked pasta dishes. Steamed Puddings. Curries. Home made apples sauces and brandy butter (Soya spread). Stuffed veg. such as Courgettes, peppers and mushrooms.Homemade sage and onion stuffing balls. Cheatin, turkey roll or the beef version (Redwoods).
