I recently turned vegetarian and my mum has asked me what I want to eat for christmas lunch seeing as I won't be eating turkey. Anyone have any suggestions for a nice alternative?

Or try Delia's idea. Looks like a LOT of fannying around to me but apparently its not that hard. Might be a pain if only you is eating it

One year I shoved a few veggie sausages on the side of my plate and another year I just ate everything else on the table and didn't bother with a substitute! Was too busy worrying about opening presents, gettin drunk, watchin Mary Poppins (Hope its on this yr ) and eating my own body weight in chocolate to be that bothered about making a veggie alternative

nice and wintry and comforting
wonder what I'll have this year :chin:
Looks like i'm going to be checking out Tescos! Butternut squash sounds good, as does the nut with stilton sauce!
Oooh, it makes me hungry just thinking about it!
you don't have to do without turkey, there are loads of soy-based 'turkey' alternatives out there. nut roast is always a good substitute too. you could also check out the vegetarian society website for xmas recipies.
They usually taste of gone off peanuts :yuck:
You make it sound so easy!! Filo pastry is impossible :grump:
When we did filo pastry at school we practised using sheets of paper that had been dipped in water then left for a bit. Try it, it's just getting the knack of it. Also keep filo in the fridge until the very last moment you need it, makes working with it easier.
I usually have Linda McCartney Sausages and Quorn Fillets
The last two years though I have had one of these baby's...
Quorn Chicken Style Roast
My sister is a vege too so we share it...
I love xmas dinner!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmm
