I had never even heard of the programme before until then.A precis of the week as I remember it...Dan the fishmonger started the week by claiming that vegetarians and vegans must be mentally ill, but ended it saying he would be happy eating vegan food now and again. A victory of sorts I suppose.Nikki's starter included Redwood's rashers (the regular ones, not the better organic ones) and everyone said they could not tell the difference from real bacon. I found that interesting given so many people claim the only thing stopping them turning vegetarian is missing bacon. I never know how realistic such things are given it has been so long I cannot remember to compare.But Ian - who won the week scoring 39 out of 40 which is apparently the highest score ever on the programme, he was docked a point by Margaret because of a chip in his bread dish and serving water in plastic bottles - announced that he would be giving up dairy after hearing Nikki's explanation of the dairy industry.Pretty good representation all round really, not only with everyone liking Nikki's meal (well except the pudding - just blended silken tofu and melted chocolote as a mouse which to be honest does not sound overly great to me) but also the other four all showing how simple it is to to make vegan dishes too.Completely aside, but it was hilarious on the first show when Terry was baffled as to why his (non-vegan) pancakes turned green. He cooked them in blue curaçao and I guess he (nor any of the other guests) knew it also came in a clear version.Michael.Peter H All new Mail "The new Interface is stunning in its simplicity and ease of use." - PC Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
