Picture an early 20’s girl trying to feed her (older) vegetarian Bf for the first time... “omg, what do I do??? What will he eat?!?" The first few meals were... interesting, to say the least

Oh. My taking me all the way back to uni & the 1st vegetarian I ever fed! What do you feed these people?!

It’s confusing at first... we both learned a lot, he taught me how to cook good vegetarian meals, and I got him eating ethical meats... there were several scary meals! Mostly on my part

We are in agreement. My only point is if I, who am so little interested in food & cooking, can manage it, then anyone with a modicum of interest & skill can. I've known a few nut jobs & I'm on my daughter's case because she has let her iron levels get dangerously low. If nothing else use a vitamin supplement! I do get my child's problem which is more to do with lifestyle than food choices but her work hours just mean she has to be a little more vigilant. She's asked for our eggs...

I've got better over the years. I've had to cook well with a side of meat in mind for the man. He's actually eating less meat & when we were looking after his mum just before she died she couldn't eat a lot of meat but loved the vegetarian meals I prepared.

Really it’s all about flavor and comfort... being able to satisfy without animal proteins and maintain a healthy diet and vitamin and mineral Intake

The protein thing in a vegetarian diet can be tricky especially with older people like myself. It's so important to make sure you are getting enough good protein every day to stay healthy.

There's just a huge variety of things: patties of all sorts, including nut [my favourite]; quiche can be made from anything; rice, pasta, pastry...soup. My favourites include an African peanut butter soup & a wild rice & sweet potato salad ~ & they will fill you right up as well as being super healthy. I like a mild curry but curries aren't the only sauces available these days. I hate cooking but if I can manage this it's seriously not that hard.

I have strong opinion on peanut soup, YUCK, lol.

That's 'cause you haven't tasted mine.

All the more we need a break from vegetarian fare and chow down on some quality farm raised meat. Yum! How's the house build going @Kris5902?
