Vegan or Whole Food Plant based

I have been vegetarian for over 20 years and have tried to be Vegan but never quite get there. In my family I have a nearly vegtarian coeliac DH, one vegan son and one vegetarian-trying to be vegan son ( they don't live at home but visit frequently. Food that is both gluten free and vegan is quite hard to do, though I prefer that we all eat the same thing when we are together. My main reason is animal welfare. I have cut out dairy milk now and eat very little cheese, but eggs are difficult and a sticking point for me.
I make lots of vegetable curry, easy to make and suitable for us all.

I am trying to be vegan. I gave up pig products and of course would never touch foie gras. I still eat free range eggs and cheese. So I am not terribly virtuous. I almost never but mammal or bird meat although fish fingers would be hard to live without. I take cod liver oil. I am afraid see no way to cut down further except by taking less animal products. I use olive oil instead of butter.

Adding generous quantities of red wine to cooking of pulses and soups makes a tremendous difference, It's strange how red wine has this savoury effect when cooked .I also use veg oxo.

Puy lentils, and Pistachio nuts are tasty sources of protein.
I was given a Xmas present of a bag of very high quality nuts seeds and dried fruit. A small handful of this is nice in bubble and squeak, and salads.
