Can vouch for chickpea curry - guys in my band are all vegan Jamaicans - it is served almost every week

Bad news for anyone quitting meat to save the planet. Having been in France for almost a month I can confirm that the French are not slowing down.

To be fair they will eat animals that others won't. Including sparrows.

Meat the Family: new reality TV show challenges carnivores to eat their 'pets'

Channel 4 programme will follow meat-eaters as they adopt a farm animal that they must cook unless they go vegetarian

 

It is one of the most shocking ultimatums delivered on television. Go vegetarian or we kill your pet.

But a new British reality TV show called Meat the Family goes even further. Not only will a family of unrepentant carnivores have to let an animal they have adopted and grown to love go for slaughter if they refuse to stop eating meat – they will be asked to cook and eat it.

With experts saying that we have to eat less meat to stave off climate change, the Channel 4 show challenges four heavy meat-eating families to take home and look after the “animal which ends up most often on their plates”.

Analyst Virginia Mouseler called the show “the most transgressive” of the year at MIPCOM, the world’s biggest entertainment market in Cannes, France.

“It is not sex or drugs anymore. Meat is becoming the next taboo,” the influential founder of The Wit database added.

“The question they are asking is how can you cuddle your dog while you are putting another animal in the oven?”

In the first episodes of Meat the Family, that involves a lamb, a pig, a chicken and a calf.

“They have to treat this animal like a member of the family for three weeks,” Mouseler said.

“Then in the end they have to decide whether they put it in the oven” or whether it goes to an animal sanctuary.

Channel 4 said the three hour-long shows will confront “the reality of an animal’s journey from field to plate.”

They said the show also seriously examines “animal behaviour and intelligence, the farming practices required to meet the demands of hungry consumers ... and the environmental impact of the meat industry.”

Daniela Neumann, head of the makers Spun Gold, defended the premise, saying it was taking on “some really timely themes of ethical eating” and well as asking difficult questions.

“Why do we find it acceptable to eat a lamb but we wouldn’t eat our pet dog? Could you go back to meat once you’ve put a name and face to a meal?”

She insisted the series – which will air in the New Year – also contained some “heart-warming moments”.

The article should say Omnivores rather than Carnivores

How did herbivores become vegetarians? Worrying.

Dipping my toe in this month by committing to a pescatarian January leading to full vegetarianism down the line. Tipping point for me was cooking a 3kg piece of beef a few weeks ago and looking at it in a cm of blood in my roasting tray and thinking "fucking hell, that's a 3kg chunk of an animal's flesh." I'm just back from France eating all their cruelty-fueled confectionery for a fortnight and ready to start. 

 

Prepping my lunches for next week I'm making a shit load of falafel, some Lentil chilli and rice.

 

Wish me luck.

Good luck mate.

 

I look forward to the "Favourite vegetarian sandwich" thread.

Restricting your diet, even for a short period of time is actually a really enlightening process in my experience. I'm a lifelong Vegetarian so may way of doing was by going gluten and lactose free for a month due to my exes diet. It forces you to try new food and think about how you eat, I noticed after a month of eating a lot less carb heavy stuff my appetite changed drastically. I have missed the boat on Veganuary but I hate doing this stuff for fad reasons anyway, so may do some planning and try it in the near future.

 

Paulie, are you still doing those Simply cook boxes? Loads of really good and cheap veggie dishes in there...

[Bjornebye]

I went back to meat over Xmas but I’m back off it now for a month. It genuinely made me feel a bit healthier not eating it for 6 weeks. 
 

The golden globes had only a plant based menu tonight.

So here I am a week later. Time for a self congratulation. Only a week in, but I'm not yet missing be meat. Ive had 3 fish meals and the rest "plant based."

 

I feel great. Full of energy. My digestive system working a dream but I have been farting like a thunderstorm. 

 

After a horrendous incident of MrsD buying Vege burgers which were mashed up veg in breadcrumbs and fucking appalling I've done the shopping and had Quorn fillets whilst mrsD and KidD had chicken. It wasn't the same but it was fine and I didn't feel as though I missed out. 

 

I guess when we go for meals out, or when I'm pissed it'll be a test of resolve.  Just made a pulse tagine and couscous for my lunches next week and am ready for another week. 

 

Here are the Vege burgers. Divorce on the cards?

Although very easy to make yourself Sainsbury’s felafel with salad and pittas make good lunches.

 

Have you tried this chickpea tagine https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/slow_cooker_chickpea_12414? I just adapted it to make it on the hob but it’s very good

Tesco Mexican beanburgers and Linda McCartney Mozzarella burgers are the best Veggie burgers I reckon.

I had one of them burgers on Friday. Iceland are doing the Linda McCartney sausages for a quid so my missus sent me to get a few packs and I grabbed the burgers. Lovely. Actually yeah nicer than the no-bull ones. 

[Strontium]

I had the KFC vegan burger the other day, which is nice, but it should be for £5.

 

I have no frame of reference on the Greggs vegan steak bake, but it only came out last week and I've already had 5 of them.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Cheers for the recommendations everyone. Noticed KFC and burger king doing their plant based ones recently. I may be joining the band wagon at the right time. 

[Tony Moanero]

Waitrose aubergine and feta burgers were decent. Useless cunts have stopped doing them, though. Never had homemade ones but I reckon they’d be boss.

Roasted a cauliflower yesterday with this recipe. Late to the cauliflower love-in but will definitely be using them a huge amount more in the future. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/spiced-cauliflower-roast
