Happy Thanksgiving [Canada]; was: About going veggie and this

October 12, 2004

Yes, thanks PT - it was a lovely day, but it was not

trad. We went out after all, since there were just the

two of us, and abandoned the planned Indian

smorgesbord (talk about contradicitions!) we had meant

to prepare. We went to a Thai restaurant here which is

totally vegetarian (non-vegan in some of its

desserts), using those things I profess to hate: fake

me*ts. But they are clever - they look (some of them,

such as the dukk and fissh) very convincing in

appearance and texture ('skin' on the dukk, flaky

fissh) but are only slightly reminiscent in flavour of

the Real Thing, thank heavens (for my taste, that is).

Delicious food too - and they have a separate page on

the menu of just ordinary not-trying-to-be-me*t tofu

and seitan dishes and another of just vegetable

stir-fries and curries, as well as a generous

selection of noodle dishes and rice dishes. Oh rave

rave rave. My only complaint is that they don't

understand spicy the way we used to enjoy it in

Thailand - for that we have to eat at home.

Lovely evening. So thanks. And of course it shouldn't

be all about food, but that's what we tend to focus

on, isn't it ;=)

Best love,

Pat ;=)

i hope you have a wonderful day of feasting, Pat.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian members.

You folks are really blessed to live in such a

beautiful

country.
