Vegetarian and vegan recipes

I haven't eat meat/poultry for about 30 years but I do eat fish, eggs and dairy.
Lots of "normal" meals are vegetarian and don't need to be "labelled" - like pizza, pasta, beans on toast, chilli sin carne = red beans, tomatoes, onions and, um, chillies.
That split pea dahl I posted earlier - lots more recipes on Hodmedod's site.

Sounds like a daft question I know veggie, but was there one particular reason 30 years a go that you took the plunge and stopped eating meat?

Several reasons - convinced me that I couldn't eat animals.

I was working with a vegetarian and, when we stayed away in hotels/ate in restaurants, I didn't eat meat to keep him company. It didn't seem that difficult to find alternatives.
I also worked in Agriculture and was taken to an egg hatchery and to see the different ways that hens were kept from free range/barn to battery. That stopped me buying eggs and I got my own chooks.
There was the Mad Cow business when cattle were being fed animal parts when it should have been grass. The end of beef for me.
Pigs kept in crates - no more pork.
The final step - at Christmas  I always cooked a free range goose that was ordered in advance from a smallholder near Brecon. I drove home over the Brecon Beacons with the plucked bird on the passenger seat and by the time I reached home I had decided that I was not going to eat it. So I cooked it for my husband and had a veggie meal myself. I never ate meat after that day although I still cooked it for him.

The only things I miss are picking on a bone and crispy skin - not bacon as every thinks you should.
