Tofu: Nice soft texture, slight taste, not unpleasant.
Pasta: Flour and water, completely tasteless, yet some rave about it.
The secret with both is to enliven them with rich and/ or spicy sauces.

I reckon the reason it got a bad name was because of the commercial stuff and the whole vegan nonsense. From what I can gather it is actually a valid food product and not unpleasant if prepared correctly. I would always go for dead animal products myself out of laziness. It's not because you're not a vegan that it therefore is nonsense, they (the vegans) don't cause you any harm, and there's no reason not to respect their choice of diet. Peter.

I think what Andrew might be meaning by "the whole vegan nonsense" is the evangelical zeal of the most vocal adherents and some of the almost hysterical anti meat eating rubbish spouted by some. On that point I would agree with him ........ as regards people being vegetarian ... fine, it's up to them. I have no problem with people making personal choices regarding their own lifestyle ........ just don't try enforcing it on me

Anyway, man-buns are ridiculous. Only cos you don't have the necessary ingredients to have one. Rumour has it, Jenlyn, that you like to wear ridiculous hats. Now that you have a new, expensive camera - because you "can afford one" - is there any chance you could take a photo of yourself sporting a ridiculous hat and posting it here? Thanks!

You're not fooling me, I've seen Tom Cruise hiding in that cellar.

On that point I would agree with him ........ as regards people being vegetarian ... fine, it's up to them. I have no problem with people making personal choices regarding their own lifestyle ........ just don't try enforcing it on me Hi John, I'm sure that our friend Andrew will appreciate your defence of what he wrote, this as we know that he wouldn't be able to find (one of his) excuses for what he wrote himself. As I've said several times in the past, I am a vegetarian since more than 2 weeks, quite a bit more than 2 weeks to be precise it's more like 45 years now. I've never tried to push anyone into my diet habits, as I think that we all have the right to make our own choices, and I won't talk bad about diffirent diets of anyone else. I often think that it's (a bit) hypocritical to say that one is an animal lover, and eat animals, this of course unless I've always misunderstood what "liking animals" meant to them, as they may have meant that they love animals on their plates. My reason for quitting eating animals was after the reading of a very long article in a journal about the way (most) animals that end up on our plates have been treated until they arrive on our plates (not on mine though), really most disgusting, and the stuff the feed them with to progress their growing up quicker than natural because they can't afford to give them more time to grow up and live a more or less happy life until......, but that wouldn't be economical anymore. They also explained that cattle eat enormous amounts of food that would in reality be enough to feed the whole world populatation, only to feed the people that are wealthy enough to buy this (elite) food. It's the same with fish of which more and more come from fish-farms where the feed isn't what it should be for human safety, something proved by many tests, o.k. but sea fish is healthy no ? yes of course it is, and even more if you like eating plastic that many sea- fishes have in their stomachs. I end this writing with wishing you a "Bon Appetit". Peter.

Oh well, rumour wrong. You really have a beef with my camera collection. That green slime creeping up your spine will end up killing you.

Hi Ross, thanks for quoting me here, but maybe because of having been a vegetarian for 45 years now, my brain (or what's left over of it) can't make up what your answer is supposed to say. Would you please be kind enough to explain in a language that a layman (and me) can understand ? Thank you very much in advance, Peter

"However, when electromagnetic pulses of lightning strike the area, the strange event turns out to be the beginning of an vegan invasion, and Ferrier must now protect his children as they seek refuge."
Mornin' Bargey! Just let this one wash over you. Ross, I don't know what you've been drinking, smoking or sniffing, but please don't drive a bus until you're sober enough again to write somthing understandable. If this isn't easy for you, forget about it, and concentrate on posting your nice photo's. Peter.

I was specifically referring to veganism which appears to be too politicised and has become some sort of fad where people feel superior and have to tell everyone their dietary choice like it is relevant. It isn't. I think vegetarianism is the way ahead for humans. However I have tried it and I became unwell. Everyone is different. My children are being brought up generally vegetarian although the younger one likes to have some meat product if available the older one is totally against. That's up to them but I think encouraging a mainly veg diet is sensible.

My writing about being a vegetarian was only as an example to indicate that people can have different diets if they want, and that I personally don't see any reason for criticize them from being different them your diet. I don't bother with politics about the different diet choices of other people, I've made my own choice, and I don't care what other people think or say about my choice for the rest, as I'm only responsible for myself (and the world around me). Peter.

I'm just mentally preparing for the challenge of sitting in my electric canoe for 5 hours while silently gliding up the Thames with cold beer.

bargemast it's a forlorn hope trying to make sense of naughtyfox 's scattergun, multiple, largely bigoted posts. He writes well when he occasionally posts about his travels and adventures, and joins in with discussion with HIS OWN views, but that seems to be increasingly rare. Such a shame, but it's his choice Rog
