    Question How many vegetarian meals do you eat a week?

    Ok, so for vegetarians the answer will obviously be all meals...


    But for the non-vegetarians among us... how many vegetarian meals DO you eat? (dinner / night meals)

    I worked it out for us, and ours is... maybe one a fortnight I have always been of the opinion that we ARE meant to eat red meat, we have incisors AND molars which means we're meant to be omnivores. Thats just my opnion anyway and I'm not wanting to debate that here (feel free to start another thread if you need to comment :P). But basically, I'm not trying to become a vegetarian, but looking at our meat intake (most of the is red meat, with two or three nights of white meat a fortnight) I think it would be good to start eating a few more vegetarian meals a week...

    So, how many do YOU eat?

    I'm thinking 2 or 3 vegetarian meals a week is probably a good amount? I'm thinking of doing my own "Vege Challenge" to try and learn more recipes too... anyone else

    Oh, and by vegetarian I mean completely meat free, but not necessarily vegan.

    We have fried rice once a week - and I don't put any meat in it, just egg, and the vegies and then sauces and rice.

    But other than that...

    We were 'supposed' to do meat-free Monday every week. Errr, hasn't gotten off th ground just yet...

    My mum is vegetarian & I was for a few years so I have no excuse other than the fact that DH isn't really that keen, & I feel bad if I don't give him some thing he likes

    none...oops....lol. I know you're supposed to have one or two meat free days a week? I just don't know what to cook! Normally the only time we have meat-free is when I forget to take something out of the freezer! But then I use a tin of tuna or have fried rice (with bacon) so generally not meat free anyway.
