I was bought up being a Veggie---a fourth generation at that and I flippin love it! People who say that Vegetarians are 'boring', eat only vegetables and are basically hippies from the 60's, YOU ARE WRONG!! Once you meet my family you realise just how wrong this stereotype is.
My dad- makes gluten free, yeast free, dairy free bread and we call it a Cruffin. a Cruffin looks like an English muffin but when you cut it open it looks like an crumpet a.k.a. A cruffin (well it would sound odd calling it a Mumpit). He also has Bee Village in our back garden and has built them all mini-bee-mansions.
My mum- She became a veggie when she met dad and realised it was easier cooking one meal than two so has created so many gorgeous Tofu dishes and feels the need to feed anyone or thing that walks through the door. Now, mum has an allotment and over summer we eat only fresh fruit and veg and we get "pretty much everything on this plate I grew at the allotment". It is really refreshing having food that we know EXACTLY where it came from.
My sister- Following in my mum's footsteps she has become a cook, and a damn good one at that, she creates gorgeous home baked cakes for birthday's, cupcakes in beautiful flavours with stunning toppings, homemade jams and chutneys, sweets and many other flavourful goodies and sells them all as Dragon's Kitchen, her own business set up at the age of 15!
Me- I am a part time veggie and have destroyed the 4th generation that I am of veggie-ness, but I do my part for the Veggie world by going to Veggie-world, the most incredible Buddhist restaurant of all time which is mostly gluten free for our crazy intolerant family and obviously dairy and meat free also.
....We even have a veggie dog..... Okay, maybe we are a stereotypical veggie family, but hey, I love my life. Off to Veggie-World we go, night y'all!
