So, in January I'll make the first steps towards this aim by eating vegetarian food only for 80% of my meals (that's lunch and supper - I rarely ever have meat for breakfast, unless seriously hungover).
80% veggie means I can have meat in three meals per week, doesn't sound too difficult, especially if I make my own sandwiches for lunch at work...though I'll miss those gorgeous schnitzels from the Beetroot Polish deli!
Why am I doing this? A number of reasons (not in any order):
- saving money
- health
- ethical treatment of animals (i.e. I'll only eat ones that had a nice life prior to ending up in my tummy)
- sustainability
Hey ho, let's go!

I had a word with the animals, they said to say 'ta very much'
I aim to do pretty much likewise - and for the same reasons.
I need to eat a high protein diet so will have to research non-meat options. We aim to keep chickens on the allotment, so we'll have plenty of eggs!
Do you class fish as meat?
Edgar: Cheers mate, that makes me feel better
Tim: Yep, fish is meat
What about tandoori chicken?
Tandoori? Only if i know where the chicken came from, and that the chick was free range, or whatever. This, of course, is highly unlikely in most of the fine curry houses i have frequented in the past.
And sadly Nandos doesn't use free range chicken either...nor wagamama or masala zone.
Yes, yes, I guessed that would be the case :(
I'm impressed :) good luck :) !
Keep us posted on your progess
my main reason for being hesitant about doing this is my need for proteins but I am sure that I just lack info as to where I can find it !
I'll be keeping you all posted on this grand endeavour
Good luck with this :-) I am glad you tried the radish roti and it worked out well for you, thanks for keeping me posted....
Mart, please could I have the radish roti recipe? Sounds yum.
