I've heard of this, but I really don't think that she needs to eat meat

occasionally. Should she ever decide to go back to eating meat, she would just

need to ease back into it (just the way she should ease out of eating it). That

would mean starting with fish, then working her way back up to white meats,

and if she chooses to eat red meat again, going to it last. I hope this helps.

Brenda,

Some questions for you. Who told your daughter that her daughter needs to

eat meat occasionally? Was it a doctor or just a well-intentioned friend or

family member? Is there some medical reason they (if it's a doctor) think

she should eat meat? There are a lot of kids out there who don't eat meat

and are perfectly healthy. My granddaughter eats meat at home and in some

of the stuff her mom brings here, but mostly she eats vegetarian stuff and

has a wide variety of tastes (she eats broccoli & asparagus at 15 months!).

The main thing is that the child is healthy, whether she does eat meat or

not.

 

My best friend's husband (at the age of 47, suddenly decided to become

vegetarian after seeing a documentary on the meat industry. Today a

coworker brought in breakfast burritos and he felt queasy all day even

though he picked all the meat out of the burrito. I can't eat anything that

has meat flavoring in it. If she does decide to eat meat again, she needs

to be very cautious about it and make sure that she goes into it very

slowly. My son, who is mostly vegetarian (except when he isn't home) has

gotten sick from eating meat after not having any for long periods of time.

 

 

If your granddaughter is choosing this lifestyle, then she just needs to

make sure that she's eating healthy meat substitutes, whether they are soy

based substitutes or beans or peanut butter or eggs. I believe a vegetarian

child can be just as healthy as a nonveg. Child, if they have a well

balanced diet.

Make the stuffed peppers. Freeze them, uncooked, individually wrapped(since I am

guessing you will be eating them one at a time). After they are frozen put them

into something, baggie?, so they don't get lost . When it is time to cook one

just add about 10 or 15 minutes to the usual cooking time. They may be a bit

softer than usual but nobody could tell they had been frozen when I made them.

I have frozen stuffed green peppers. I stuffed them with some kind of rice

filling and cooked them completely before I froze them. They came out fine.

Katie and Jeanne,

 

Thanks so much for answering this for me! I'm going to make them tomorrow -

my one day off of babysitting my wonderful granddaughter. Now I know how to

freeze them! I figured if they sell frozen ones they can't be that hard to

do, but I don't want to mess it up either, you know?

Have you ever tried freezing just pepper pieces? When I find them on sale I

bring them home and slice the peppers into strips about 1/4 inch wide and freeze

them. I like to get red and orange and yellow all together and freeze them

together. They all taste so simular that they can be used interchageably and

they look so pretty in stir fries and other things. I don't even thaw them

before I throw them in stuff.

Tofu is bean curd made from soy milk. It will pick up the flavor of what

you put it in. It is very versatile. It will take the place of ground beef

in chili and is great in spaghetti sauce.

I don't eat tofu much anymore because of thyroid issues, but I do like tofu.

 

Another thing you can do with it is to freeze it and then thaw it. This

changes its texture in a wonderful way. You can use it to make " mock

egg salad " (recipe in files) and it tastes very much like regular egg

salad. You can crumble it up and cook it like scrambled eggs and it's

wonderful.

 

It also comes in different " firmnesses " . I usually buy the extra firm -

that's a great texture for cutting into cubes and throwing into soup or

stir fry or cutting into slabs and frying or baking (especially after

soaking in a marinade). The extra silken is good if you are making tofu

" cheesecake " , chocolate " cream " pie, tofu lasagna, or salad dressings.

The extra sillken just falls apart if you look at it and is very creamy.

 

Tofu is wonderfully versatile, but most people don't care for it

" straight up. " My kids like it that way, though. If you cut it into

cubes and sprinkle some soy sauce on it, they are happy campers.

(Though they like it even better soaked in marinade and then fried or

grilled so the outside gets chewy.)

Hi everyone, just joined. Trying to get back to vegetarian eating, the

files have some seriously tempting recipes that I'm sure to be trying

soon, thanks!

 

About that protein, Betty Lou. Try quinoa (keen-wah). It's a seed,

not

a grain, and it's quick cooking and delicious. Here's an article on

it: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15749697

It will be bitter if you don't wash it. I soak it a bit then rinse

under running water in one of those old time columnar flour sifters

with the rounded mesh bottom (uses a handle on the side to turn a thick

 

4 spoke wire wheel against the mesh). Works great, but you can wash it

 

in a regular sieve too.

I've been here for a couple of months, the recipe file is awesome!

Have you tried mycoprotein yet - it's a fungus and comes in a variety

of types. Quorn is one of the brand names.

 

http://www.vegsoc.org/info/soya.html

 

http://www.quorn.us/

 

I recently made a dish for my family and a couple of my teen age

daughter's " vegetarian " friends (translation: they don't eat meat, but

don't have support at home so they're not getting a good variety or

even enough of the proper nutrients). My family is not fully veg, but

they're very willing to try most anything! They LOVED it! (I made a

pasta, broccoli, " chicken " (quorn) dish, lots of garlic and olive oil).

 

I've also used soy crumbles (frozen) and other similar products when

I've wanted to add a little meat like texture. Marinating tofu and

baking it gives it a great flavor, freezing tofu changes the texture

(more chewy), I'm experimenting with tempeh, but haven't been able to

replicate the yumminess that a (now closed) local health food store

used to produce in their take out meals (which is where I first tried

it several years ago).

 

I feel much better without meat, and dairy bothers me, so I pretty much

avoid it. Been experimenting with soy yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream

(Toffutti products). I like walking around the Whole Foods store and

checking out what's available that's new to me (especially the frozen

section).

I have purchased a vegetarian version of Worcestere sauce (sp?) at my

ranch 99 asian supermarket. It does not quite taste the same but it

is OK.

 

Tahini paste is ground up sesame seeds, like peanut butter but instead

of peanuts it is made with sesame.

It is simply called Asian style vegetarian Worchester sauce, or

something like this, and it does have some Chinese characters on the

label.

Sam, it actually says: " Orient Worcestershire sauce " and I can tell it

is veggie looking at the list of ingredients. It looks like a bottle

of soy sauce.

 

Nice that there is a recipe for it in the files though, next time I'll

make my own....

Not a dumb question, Lois! Here I am, an ovo-lacto vegetarian for

THIRTY ONE YEARS, and I JUST used tempeh for the first time

yesterday!!! Of course I've known about it for many years, but wasn't

tempted to try it. I do use and like tofu, which is made from soymilk.

Tempeh is fermented soybeans that are then squished together.

 

So, I opened my first package of unflavored tempeh yesterday. I was

confronted with something that looks like a brick of beans.

Tentatively, I pulled off a corner and nibbled. Ick. The texture is

something like peanuts that have been soaked for a long time and then

squished together. Except it doesn't taste that good. :-)

 

My daughter has had tempeh at her father's house and declared that she

hates it, so I decided to dice it up very small (about a

quarter-of-an-inch dice). I later learned you can also grate it. The

recipe called for flavored tempeh -- it had you saute the flavored

tempeh with an onion for about 10 minutes and then add it to the soup.

Since the tempeh was so unappetizing I decided to flavor it myself.

First of all, I used a leek, not an onion, greens and all. I added two

cloves minced garlic, 2 tsp All Purpose Vegetable Seasoning (a recipe

from one of the How it All Vegan cookbooks), and then I liberally added

smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt and pepper. I cooked it longer than

10 minutes and when it seemed like it needed more liquid, I added some

No-Chicken Broth. I kept tasting it as I went and adding more seasoning

and more liquid. Finally, it was delicious! It was infused with

flavor, spiciness and a bit of heat. And by then I even liked the

toothsome texture.

 

My daughter loved the soup and even when I told her it contained tempeh,

she asked to have the soup in her lunch today. :-)

Regarding the meatball question, I'm not a big cook so

I rely heavily on frozen foods, and I absolutely LOVE

" Nate's meatless meatballs " . We call them

'veg-T-balls'. They come in italian style and

mushroom, both are awesome and happily consumed by my

veg and non-veg aquaintances.

Barb, here in England I can get little sachets of jelly crystals that are

vegetarian, whereas our normal jelly is in blocks of wobbly consistency, not

sure if jello is like that, but obviously I never use it as it has gelatine

in it. Maybe you can also get jelly crystals there in Canada too? I cant

get much variety of flavour unfortunately :-(

First, very important point.... if she can eat fish, then she isn't a

vegetarian. Fish are animals - they don't grow on trees!

 

In terms of whether she could survive in 1850... many monks managed it, so I

don't see why not.

 

Might be an idea to check out some books on diet throughout history - I'm

sure there must be plenty of them around, although as this isn't my

particular area of expertise, I've never looked into them.

this leads you to some german philosophical sources about animals/vegetarianism in the mid 19th century:http://home.c2i.net/monsalvat/vegetarn.htm

I am a writer and am planning a story about a vegetarian going back in

time to the year 1850. my question is: can she survive being a

vegetarian, she will be able to eat fish, milk ect, not a true vegan,

and if so what will she be eating. the setting is in Germany.

thanks for your help
