The best thing about Groucho Marx is the fact he painted on that thick greasepaint moustache. Well that and his physical comedy and the lack of swearing in his work.
Groucho aside, at this point I want to clarify the difference types of vegetarianism;
Vegetarianism – The practise of a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products; fish, shellfish and other sea animals; and poultry).
Veganism - a form of vegetarianism which excludes all animal products from the diet, such as meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs, and honey.
Lacto-vegetarianism - includes dairy products but excludes eggs.
Ovo-vegetarianism - includes eggs but not dairy.
Lacto-ovo vegetarianism - includes both eggs and dairy products.
Semi-vegetarianism - consists of a diet largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish and sometimes poultry, as well as dairy products and eggs.
I guess that makes me a Lacto-ovo vegetarian until the end of the bet. (Definitions from Wikipedia)
Vegetarian Dish of the Day:
Quorn Gruyere Cheese Escalopes
Box Blurb: Succulent quorn escalopes topped with a rich gruyere cheese sauce, and coated in crunchy golden breadcrumbs.
Quorn you sly old dog! Just when I thought you were out of the race, you come back with something as brilliant as this! I could not for the life of me tell that this was not a meat escalope. I even checked the box to make sure I hadn’t been tricked or bought the wrong product!
This tasted exactly like the meat it replicates. No strange over-flavouring or blandness and after a string of disappointing meals this really lifted my spirits. It was so full of flavour and deliciously crispy. If you can’t tell; I’m smitten!
I enjoyed my escalope with pasta but it would be equally tasty with potatoes, rice or a salad. They can be oven cooked or shallow fried (my chosen method of preparation). If Quorn is people then I would happily call myself a cannibal if all their products tasted this good. Linda McCartney; the ball is back in your court!
