Damaramu Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 Ok so I was trying to think of some good all vegetarian meals that would taste halfway decent but it's not coming to me. Anyone here ever gone the veggie route? I was thinking of doing it for just a week and seeing what happens.
Mole Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Pussssy. But Subway has some good veggie grinders I hear.
Nighthawk Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Weird Al was convinced to become a vegetarian based on a book he read. You should find out what that was and read it. I bet there's recipes in it.
NoCalMike Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 The thing is, if you actually have access to a vegetarian/vegan chef, then they can make some pretty damn good meals, I mean stuff you have never heard of or could think would come from mere fruits and vegetables, but if it was just me trying to make a meal out of vegetables, I wouldn't know what to do besides slice em up, throw em in a skillet and grill them up(sp?) them...
Lord of The Curry Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Grilled portabello mushroom sandwich with mozzarella and marinara sauce.
Special K Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Spinach and Walnut Fettucini Alfredo. Get you fat in no time. Eggplant Parmesan is OK. I had Cactus tacos at a local Mexican joint. It had a tasty sauce, and the Cactus was surprisingly fleshy. Of course, a good meal can be made out of some soup and a salad. Some of the Veggie burgers are OK too.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 One of my favorites is a vegetarian version of mapo-tofu that uses asparagus instead of minced pork. It's basically: tofu, asparagus, green onions, various peppers, chili black bean paste, and soy sauce. A really nice spicy dish that is best served with some plain rice.
Special K Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 You can make some damn fine vegetarian curries and sombosas, too.
C Dubya 04 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Coincidently, I went to my favorite Philly restaurant yesterday for lunch. It is a vegan Chinese place that makes mock meat meals. They use combinations of mushrooms, bean curds, tofu and other shit. If I could replicate the taste I would never eat meat again, purely because it is better than anything else I have ever had.
Special K Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 You know, we've got a place just like that in Seattle, it's awesome. I think they just make Kung Pao chicken and call it vegetarian so people can marvel at how meat-like it is.
Guest Brian Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 You can substitue a combo of tofu into most marinated dishes, and cut down on marinating time. Good for stir-fry.
St. Gabe Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 Somosa's are fantastic. For those who dont know they are basically potato pastries with curry and indian seasoning. most have peas, I like mine without. Great in sweet and sour sauce, or even chile sauce. good god, Im hungry now
Special K Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 They'd probably be easy to make at home, you'd probably have to pre-cook the potatoes.
St. Gabe Posted January 5, 2006 Report Posted January 5, 2006 Unfortunately Im at work. Sadness abounds
gWIL Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 As a vegetarian, my favorite meal is to sauté jalapeños, green, red and yellow peppers and tomatos with a touch of garlic mix it with plain Prego over some pasta, fettuccine works best. Sometimes I add tofu, sometimes cheese. If you want any advice on the frozen vegetarian meals, feel free to ask as I live off of them. Since no ones asked why the interest in vegetarian meals?
Nighthawk Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 You know, I'd be interested in an instance where tofu tastes good, because I've had it a handful of times, and it makes me nauseous. I even grew to like anchovies after 4 or 5 attempts. If you have a frozen tofu meal which will not make me barf, please tell me.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 I had some nachos w/ tofu in Jamaica Plain, MA that were the best goddamn nachos I've ever had in my life.

I personally don't know because I don't depend on the stuff, and everything I use has an animal base of some sort (either meat that I've substituted some out of using Tofu or stock in a soup). I've had some thai dishes that I don't know the name for, which is where I'd look for. It does make for good smoothies, which I guess is really the only tofu-solo application I have. Actually, when I was in Viet Nam, I did have this spectacular tofu dish in fish sauce.
