Happy Veggie Christmas!
As a veggie, Christmas dinner is never overly inspiring for me. The thought of furkey (fake turkey) and fausages (fake sausages) wrapped in facon (you get the picture), is about the most unappealing load of pap imaginable. While it may look reasonably realistic, (despite the slightly anaemic look of the fausages), the taste is pretty bad. So, what is the best Christmas meal for us "granola munchers"?
Some opt for just going with the trimmings - roast potatoes, parsnips and of course the sprouts. However, I think that's always a bit of a cop out and doesn't allow for the usual Christmas meal gorging which should be a mandatory right.
While the BBC website has some exotic sounding ideas – this year's recommendation is a pie made of squash, barley and spinach - it never has anything that particularly whets my appetite.
Perhaps the clichéd nut roast is really the answer. Pre-made and just as good as turkey in leftover sandwiches for Boxing Day, the nut roast is certainly not original but at least it is tasty.
Bon appetite!
