So, here I am. Up Tofu fucking creek without a turkey paddle. And, the worst thing is I can't blame anyone but me,band by fuck have I tried.
Just sitting here as the Mrs makes the best chicken gravy in the world, using roasted chicken thighs, various veg and herbs, port, all roasted then water added and further reduced. I'm in fucking tears here just writing that. She asked me to taste it for seasoning, which I did as I have an amazing palate, gravy wise. Anyway, it tasted fantastic and I had to fight the compulsion to start a fight and throw the fucking lot through the window.
I'm having a wonderful dish of Smoked Haddock Duglere. Google it, it's great. I will have all the trimmings too...apart from the kilted sausages and stuffing and gravy.....I will be fine. I will.
Overall though, even though I will be seething, I won't falter. I may throw the odd dagger, literally, but I hope it won't ruin the day.
I am having nice sparkly wine right now. I will be fine. Mrs just asked me about cooking time for chicken. It's covered in a butter of garlic, herbs, lemon zest and white wine. I fucking hate her. :). I don't, but that chicken is fucking testing me.
Merry Christmas you shower of lucky cunts.
Went to Barcelona in 2014 for the away leg of the CL, and went to a bar which served craft beers. The only food they served was vegan, and, never having tried vegan food before, thought "why not, I'm hungry". I opted for the burger, with a side order of chips. It was the best burger I've ever had, and so filling I never touched the chips.I tried a vegan burger a few weeks back in cafe in Todmorden. My first and last! I've just carved all the turkey off the crown for the finest turkey sandwiches this side of Nantucket, and a plate of scraps for turkey pie.
A phrase caught my eye a few days back - 'vegan leather'! I thought WTF is that made of? Turns out to be plastic!
Oh, and Merry Boxing Day yer old bastard!
I've tried most of the meat substitutes and universally loathe most of them. I also noticed how expensive they are. A small pack of this reconstituted rubber comes in at nearly £20 a kilo. For something that tastes as if you're chewing cut up rubber bands I find that taking the fucking piss. In fact, piss couldn't taste any worse and I can get that for hee haw. I still don't plan on buckling though and one day fish will be added to the stuff I don't eat, but not today, not today.Went to Barcelona in 2014 for the away leg of the CL, and went to a bar which served craft beers.

Not tried vegan food since - plants have feelings as well.

It was abuse, not constructive criticism ;-)I take all the points about veggy and fish. I was meaning no meat for the first time. It wasn't easy.
I know. And to be honest, that's the way I prefer it. I would think I had gone into the wrong forum.It was abuse, not constructive criticism ;-)
Veggie/vegan in need to tell world what they're eating Shocker. No one gives a fuck
Nowt wrong with Turkeys MP. I wish Bigfoot gobbled as well as a turkey, ya big big streak of celery; )I agree. Oh and thanks for describing that turkey you heartless ****. Merry Christmas to you and yours too.
Organic celery if you don't mind.Nowt wrong with Turkeys MP. I wish Bigfoot gobbled as well as a turkey, ya big big streak of celery; )
Gave meat up for a year but cracked when i went to my Aunties for xmas dinner.
If you can get through yesterday without cracking then i think you've probably, er, cracked it.I nearly buckled yesterday. But nearly isn't buckled. :)
don't forget Turnip. Lots of neeps.Ok who’s the twat that hacked Magics account. Veggie my arse, the only veg they up there is heather and tree bark.
I think so. Being doing this for five months nearly. I have accepted that from now on, it's dinners that are predominantly just meh. I used to really love food but now it's just about fuel. Mostly dissapointing fuel. I'm still glad I have done it though. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I'm happier in my head not being a hypocrite as I was for too many fucking years.If you can get through yesterday without cracking then i think you've probably, er, cracked it.
Why the flying fuck are you giving up meat!?I take all the points about veggy and fish. I was meaning no meat for the first time. It wasn't easy.

You will be telling us you are tee total next.
Don't forget the tatties. You can't have one without the other.don't forget Turnip. Lots of neeps.
Wow. There is a half way house though mate. Just eat stuff you are confident you know the provenance of - I have done that for years. My Christmas day Turkey from Gartmorn Farm near Alloa was eyewateringly expensive but I am confident that the ugly birds had a fantastic life frolicking in their woodland and pastures, having as close as a natural life as it is possible to have and were slaughtered humanely. Likewise all the meat, poultry, game and fish I buy and eat.I love animals and hate how they are treated. I have felt this way for years but did fuck all about it. Eventually I just decided to do it. I feel happier in my head. My stomach and taste buds though? They fucking hate me. :)
And it's actually a criminal act going teetotal in Scotland. So that's a non starter.
