Non vegetarian supermarket desserts

The kinds of fish you do like sound sufficient, galen. Minibags only eats smoked salmon. The only meat she likes is Parma ham, bacon and hot dog sausages. And the only green thing she eats is my homemade pesto.

So far so good.

She also loves chocolate.

She has been known to eat a sandwich that has cress in it

Is your Asda Greek yogurt low fat, nellie? Our Asda only does low or zero fat Greek yogurt which, to me, means it isn't real Greek yogurt at all.

My sister is a vegetarian i.e. no meat or fish - there is apparently a veggie gelatin.

Ah.

Been thinking, as you do... if people didn't buy the gelatinous desserts, the supermarkets would stop selling them. I guess that means people like them.

People who don't like them (like me) don't have to buy or eat them. What's the problem?

It's not as if we didn't have a choice . Masses of choice in fact.

Thatbags DH has low fat Greek yogurt. I just like the full fat. I don't eat that much fried food to be worried about my fat intake.

Galen Omelettes? Hummus? Chickpea curry? Cheese pudding?
All things I turn to when I don't fancy meat.

Egg allergy, although I do do egg white ones, boring! Love hummus, must learn to do my own , don't like chickpeas whole, what's cheese pudding?
Just thought I could do cheese and potato pie, I love it , but, calories!

Ah - Cheese pudding has egg in it. You could possibly make it with just the egg white?
Basically -
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
3 oz grated Cheshire cheese (or Wensleydale or Caerphilly)
salt, pepper, dry mustard and cayenne, pinch of each
1 egg, beaten
7.5 fluid oz milk
Mix together all the ingredients and put in a well-buttered invidual gratin dish or small pudding basin.
Bake uncovered at 170C till nicely browned, about half an hour.

We eat it with sticks of celery dipped in salt.
A local restaurant makes something very similar, but they put spinach in and serve it with a runny cheese sauce, that's very nice too.
Not sure what the effect of leaving out the egg yolk would be - perhaps increase the amount of cheese?

Most recipes with eggs in can have a tablespoon of soya flour instead of the egg if the egg is just a binder. You can add an extra spoonful of milk if you want, but I do not think it would be necessary in the cheese pudding recipe.
You can make a vegan one with vegan cheese and soya cream. It's delicious.

Provamel make some lovely chocolate puddings. I think they use carageen instead of gelatine.
I have a recipe book by Martin Shaw. It's not until you reach the end that you realise there is not an egg in sight, it's all vegan, even with recipes such as chocolate cake and leek and almond quiche.

Provomel make really yummy deserts. Too flippin' yummy, if you ask me.

BTW, does anyone know what Greek style yogurt is? Clearly NOT Greek yogurt!

squaredog "Greek style" . Bit like Somerset Brie then?

Vegetarian cheese is already a joke. (Dairy farmers slaughter the bull calves shortly after birth so using vegetarian rennet isn't exactly moral high ground.) But what the hell is vegan cheese?
