For main course we'll be having a nut loaf with a baked sweet potato dish, with "normal" veg on the side (peas, corn etc).

Yes please - in fact, after reading the animal aid fact sheet on turkey, I'm even more resolute that everyone should try to leave meat alone this and every Christmas. Christmas is a time for peace to all, animals included and people should start to respect this rather than pigging out (excuse the pun) on all these meat products. Please go to http://www.animalaid.org.uk/images/pdf/f... to find out why a meat free Christmas is the only way to ensure you are not involved in cruelty and exploitation.
Yup, I'm having your typical christmas dinner with all the trimmings, only I'm replacing the traditional turkey with quorn garlic & herb fillets. Mmm mmm!
that's not impossible. this year is my first vegetarian christmas and i have got a lot ideas what i can cook, just be a little bit creative.
...no meat on my plate..not for me...but i do like to suck on a sausage whenever i can...it's Christmas after all...have fun..xxx
If you want something that looks traditional on your plate you could try Quorn roast. It comes frozen & you just put in oven
