good vegetarian dishes?

[skyylark]

I'm a vegetarian and have been for 2 years. I love experimenting with food but I've run out of ideas. Any inspiration?

You could try eating some meat like a normal human being, like we evolved to eat.

Falafel is a kick-ass vegetarian dish and it ain't got no meat in it neither.


Seriously dude, why don't you just knock-off the crazy vegetarian shit and go to Ruth's Chris for a t-bone and a beer?

I like eating greek salads, tomato salad, rice... or (veg) subway sandwiches with mountain dew to drink...
Vegetarian pasta is very good too... potato-salad...

oh, by the way... Suuz's dish is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!
Tastes delicious!!!!!!
It's all very healthy... I've been a vegetarian for a couple of years...
Sometimes I eat meat, chicken/turkey w/e... but not very often... I just don't really like the taste either, plus the fact that its well... really better for everything in the world besides maybe your taste-buds.. and even that is very arguable...
I believe in you are what you eat not matter what.. I'm not pig or cow or sheep, so I don't eat those mammals.
Goddamn carnivores always bashing on/joking about herbivores... it is really telling ,...
there's just too many rational reasons to not eat (much) meat...

As optimus pointed out, normal people eat meat.
If you don't eat meat there's obviously something wrong with you.
Something mental maybe?
