Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 1242110" data-attributes="member: 891">I've been a vegetarian for 19 years - the food is easy.With a lot of italian pastas you can just swap the meat for tofu. Works great for spagetti and lasangna for example. With spagetti it's especially nice if you also add walnuts - though the tofu turns purple. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Look to asian dishes. Chinese Indian and Thai in particular. Tofu curries are great - a bunch of mixed veggies, tofu, and a spicy curry over asian rice (the sticky stuff). Use a cocunut curry and the dish takes on a thai feeling. Good veggies for this are the same sorts one might put in a stew: carrots, potatoes, onions, brocoli, bell peppers, etc... (you can just look at the list of items in some of the veggie mixes in the frozen section of the grocery store, then go over to produce and get fresh versions of them).Mexican food also works great - and again often you can just slide in tofu where meat used to sit with little change to anything else. But remember to buy the vegetarian beans in the store, not the ones with lard in the mix...Also: Why is she a vegetarian? Faux meat can really annoy some of us. I'll gag on it just as fast as I will on the real stuff. The taste and smell of meats is nausious to me.</blockquote>
