christmas dinner with out meat?

Answer 1

I'm not totally sure what the nature of your question is but yes, if you're asking if it's possible to have xmas dinner without meat! I have a nut roast with all the usual other things - roast potatoes, cabbage, stuffing, gravy etc! Simple.

Answer 2

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/factfiles/turkey.pdf to find out why a meat free Christmas is the only way to ensure you are not involved in cruelty and exploitation.

Answer 3

Yep, I have been doing it for 15 years without leaving the table hungry.
