Just catching up on all the festive flesh. Strong work all. Am really intrigued by the Korean chicken recipes too. Will def try once i'm back on the meat.
We've gone veggie for a bit just to see how it feels. Been thinking about our meat consumption and and thought it'd be a fun experiment to try going totally without for a while. 10 days in and I just managed to cook the kids bacon sandwiches without feeling the need to cheat. We're eating lots of veg curry, dahl and the like. Loads of roasted veggies and lentils. Not much pasta yet. Definitley way too much cheese. All in all it doesn't really feel like missing out so much as just thinking a bit more about other fun things we can try. Recommend.
Will def go back to meat at some point but my plan is to cut out all "unnecessary" meat and just stick to occasional, top quality treat stuff like a proper grass fed, aged rib roast once in a while. We used to eat a roast every sunday so that does feel like quite a change. I do miss gravy.
All in all, it's been fun. I can't see us going back to regularly eating processed meat. Or least I can see us eating a lot less of it after this experiment.
oh and top tip: anything which purports to be a "plant based meat substitute" has proven utterly gross. I'll be sticking to just eating actual plants thanks.
