I live in a fishing town too .. we can get great fish n chips here. Which I suppose isn't an appropriate comment on a veggie thread

I've never seen a fish substitute now I come to think of it.

In Glasgow, it's Mars bars

And they're veggie friendly!

Emmmm...Only if they have a Best Before date of 18 February 2008 or later.

Redwoods make a substitute fish finger and Realeat make a fishless fish cake. Neither of them taste much like fish. There was a Taiwanese firm called VeggieMaster which did make some very realistic products but they don't seem to be available any more.

With fish cakes I would guess that a lot of it comes down to the correct seasoning and the balance of potato used. That said fish does have a quite distinctive texture which I guess is not easy to replicate.

As far as losing wight is concerned then the best thing is to eat less. another way is to have Marmite on your toast instead of cheese; or beans which are not very unfattening but at least they do not contain a lot of fat which is bad for people as it can cause cancer if eaten too much. So maybe its best to not eat cheese at all for weight loss reasons.

For vegan and vegetarian purposes then peas and beans and other vegetables are usually okay. Hawthrone tea may help regarding the heart plus the spreads which are available now. Also garlic and oats (not necessarily together!) are said to keep the cholestrol down.

Some of my vegetarianism is environment based so at the moment I am eating the apples I have on my tree and a little ordinary cheese goes well with this. I use organic which is at least good on animal welfare allthough it may contain rennet which is not strictly vegetarian but I haven't seen any vegetarian cheese on the shelves recently although I have seen "pretend" cheese in my health food store - it is a bit pricey and may not reduce the number of lifeforms killed in its making although I do not know the statistics.

Make sure you eat breakfast Moose and good luck.

Gregory, we are easily able to find veggie cheese (ie. without rennet) on the shelves of our supermarkets : Sainsburys, Morrisons, Tescos and I expect most others. I f you are not able to, it makes me wonder how much local stores differ.

I generally have something in the mornings these days tho I did not used to . But I gather that it's a good start to the day and pretty much essential if you're dieting.
