I think the problem is factory produced animal protein promoted by the supermarkets, local game is about the only meat we eat these days as it has so much more texture and flavour and we like to believe the animal has had a reasonably good life. The GP tells me my cholesterol is the lowest on his books including the ones who are on treatment. The supermarkets dumb everything down making it all tasteless, I recall taking an avocado pear and a can of cider to a mate who was in Lincoln nick on Christmas Eve in the early 80s. Colin had asked for these "luxuries" and I did not know what an avocado was; after finding one I got a second for myself and it was so nutty and creamy. I avoid avocadoes these days as they are just bland mush... just like the supermarket meat and Papa Johns pizzas you mention. Summing up, I am almost veggie but how can I eat a meat and potato pie or steak pudding? For that reason I'll stay in my halfway (or maybe three quarters) house. I’d say 50% of players at work at veggie, then the rest have stuff out of their diets, mainly red meat, but it’s ended up me trying loads of meatless dishes so much I don’t really miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I had to send food back to Nam Ploy the other week. It was utter shite. Not sure how you manage to make bland Thai food but they've cracked it. And their rice was a congealed mess that tasted like rice pudding. Stick to Jajern or Thai Kitchen and never deviate!

fatty Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 If you’re looking for something a little different for dinner try Braza. Amazing ! I don’t understand having take away sandwiches for lunch. The simplest thing to make and far cheaper to do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A consultant in Italy changed his diet took out meat and replaced it with other proteins and I think it’s been two years since a reoccurring injury happened.

Also had baked salmon on Wednesday. Sometimes I manage to get my hands on trout from Rutland Water, I once asked the bloke on the market whether it was fresh, he told me it was alive 3 hours ago.

Sweet doughy sugary shite. Ive gone a month and a half without eating meat and don’t eat plan on eating it again because everything I’ve had had been really tasty. Not to sound like morrissey but it’s not the taste of meat I liked, it was always the flavouring and sauce that went with it Same could be said with veggies! Just had an 'Indian street food' kebab from big Al's and it was tremendous. Been reducing meat to a degree, and replacing with pulses, they do need flavouring with spices etc though as many are bland, and the spices themselves are full of health giving properties. Fresh coriander is a magnificent herb and sets so many dishes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) We have a couple of salad dodgers in the family, I have previously politely tried to encourage them to reduce their sausage and kebab intake. Although they are more than 10-15 yrs behind me, in the last year he has had his gall bladder removed and she has had one third of her colon taken away and 5 weeks on the oncology ward. Now healthier eating and lower meat intake has been forced on them Edited April 30, 2021 by Dimron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Tesco's triple layer breakfast is as 'good as anything you get from that place.' I asked and they had never tried the alternative. Just remembered called Philpotts so still a chain just fresh food. Edited May 1, 2021 by Ani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
