Hmm. Was asking if there were any signs of Vegetarian Week, eg in cafes or shops in SE22-ish?


(Don't know if "Bacon Sarnie" is really complete response to idea of combatting world hunger, but there you go).


If it gets any worse I shall have to consider posting quotes from Paul McCartney.

commondreams - 10 reason's to go veggie site - represents an ill informed, unbalanced and biased point of view. It's polemic propoganda and things are not nearly as simple as the site makes out.


That said, I regulary eat veggie and might doff my veggie cap to ganapati to mark the week

I don't think there's any reliable study that shows an increased tendency to compose songs about frogs, or even don tartan or marry ladies who are too keen on having their photograph taken.

That's what I was hoping to find out. Hoped there might be somewhere, anywhere, local, that would make a bit of an imaginative effort re veggie food this week.

I heard the chucks are breaking out the champagne down at the battery farm.


Those fine folks from the Croydonvegetarians.co.uk know how to celebrate too. They're having a vege Beat the Banger competition in conjunction with the local buddhist group


Seems Croydon is the vegetarian epicentre for the week.

East Dulwich out-evented by Croydon. How shaming.


Any suggestions from actual local vegetarians, as to how we can redeem ourselves?

That?s a good idea SteveT. We could have a vegetarian themed curry club this month (I hope I will eventually make it again)


I?m not a vegetarian myself* but I do play one on tv.


*I tried once but they said I had to give up black pudding and sausages no matter how I remonstrated about neither of them actually being meat.

    • The Herne Hill Forum is raising money to replace the much-loved but decrepit wooden children’s trains outside Herne Hill station. The new train benches will be made of stainless steel with seasoned oak slats to sit on. The design is based on the Lord Nelson Class engines which passed through Herne Hill Station between 1926 and 1962 and the Pullman carriages in service at the same time. The trains will be painted green, the livery colour for Southern Railway in the 20s and 30s. Youngsters peering inside the carriages will glimpse some unexpected passengers: penguins commuting to work, an owl in a flap, a ghost on its way to Halloween, a fox and his friends, a heron migrating back to the hill and a bear checking tickets have all been smuggled on board. The carriages themselves will be clad with painted wooden boards for local artists and school children to repaint when necessary. The quality of the materials and the design should ensure the trains’ longevity but also come at a price. To cover the costs, the Forum has launched a crowd funding campaign and if all goes well, the new train benches should be installed by the spring.  Back the project here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/herne-hill-train-benches (Admin, we know this is not ED but we didn't feel it was right for the Lounge so have put it here, given many ED-ers use Herne Hill. Apologies if it's in the wrong place!)
    • Exactly. I had to then scale down the rest of the ingredients. It's happened twice that I know of.
