My GF's aunt is coming for lunch on Sunday and she's a vegetarian

Any suggestions for what we can give her to eat that's more interesting

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Ken

might be a good satrting point to ask her what she wants and cook it ...not being sarcy there not all veggies like the same thing.
Also cook something you are comfortable doing - curry, pizza, chilli whatever or just buy something and cook that.
They will just appreciate the fact you are trying to accomodate. They will have eaten some crap food at peoples houses in the past.

My lass is a veggie and I just do the full sunday luch. Make the veg interesting and gravy from granules is Ok for veggies. Honey and mustard roast veg is good. Roat tatties are god's food. Yorkshires are too. She just misses out on the roast meat.

Delia's roasted and sundried tomato risotto is great. Easy to make, tastes bloody fantastic. Serve with some crusty bread and you can't go wrong.

I'm not veggie but we had stuffed butternut squash tonight. It was bloody nice. If the oven is on anyway for the roast, could be perfect.

You should probably make a few extras as everyone will be wanting a bit.

Don't do what my friends aunty used to do and balance a lamb chop on the edge of the plate "In case you change your mind". Nobody else would be having lamb, it was just there for the the veggie.

Veggie mushroom Biryani and other Indian veggie accompaniments, even non vegggies like me really enjoy a meatless curry.

You could get her some of that supermarket meat this person is talking about.

Give her things that don't make noises out their mouths or copulate. Actually give her things that don't have mouths or copulating devices. Like a rock. That'll keep her busy all night.

I shit you not. The chop would even be cooked seperately to the other meat, precisely because it was there, in case of emergencies, for the veggie.

Of course if she had any sense it would have been bacon. all veggies eat bacon.

Thanks folks, I'm sure I'll work out something for her to eat from this lot

May try the lamb chop thing just for a laugh

This cookbook is superb imo - lots of veggie dishes in it. Generally involve LOADS of garlic though.

As a veggie I think I might have to get a lamb chop in just in case. I could put it in a glass case on the wall with a little hammer dangling from it.

I have a home-reared sirloin breathing on my windowsill as we speak. I find it hard in the presence of such a delightful feast to understand why anyone would choose to be one of those "fussy eaters"?
