I would be interested to hear what you think if you do try this recipe - I doubt I would make it this way again but do like combinations of nuts and breadcrumbs in burgersJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-14287638244642229512008-06-08T23:37:00.000+10:002008-06-08T23:37:00.000+10:00Interesting post.

And can only imagine that many of the vegetarian recipes are likely quite different than they are today. I was not raised vegetarian, but my friends that were (about 15-20 years) ago describe their childhood eating experiences as "bland" and "before the veggie burger." (I guess, that's the veggie burger as we know it today...)<BR/>Nonetheless, I happen to love nuts, and see this recipe has having quite a bit of potential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-32018672816242487312008-06-07T22:16:00.000+10:002008-06-07T22:16:00.000+10:00thanks Ricki - I have been quite surprised to find...thanks Ricki - I have been quite surprised to find vegetarian cookbooks going back through the 20th century when I was researching nut roasts - and surprised to find recipes that interest me not just appal me!<BR/><BR/>thanks Kathryn - what a lovely story that gives great insight into how we have changed our habits in a cyclical wayJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-72717481851797990902008-06-07T11:44:00.000+10:002008-06-07T11:44:00.000+10:00I was talking to a client today about meatless mea...I was talking to a client today about meatless meals. She'd been reflecting that week on how she ate when growing up, compared to now. Her parents were not well off, so they bought cheap cuts of meat and cooked them in casseroles, bulked up with beans and vegetables. Chocolate, biscuits, cakes, wine were all rare treats.<BR/><BR/>They regularly ate meatless meals and it was exactly these kinds of foods. This wasn't a health or ethical decision, they simply couldn't afford meat every day. So the "vegetarian" meals were made to mimic meat.<BR/><BR/>And we talked about the similarities between the diet of her parents, the low-cost diet, and the way I was encouraging her to eat now.<BR/><BR/>It was an interesting discussion and one of those lovely moments when you know there has been a big attitude shift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-29997150998995520922008-06-07T05:02:00.000+10:002008-06-07T05:02:00.000+10:00I do love that name!

These do sound "nut-heavy," though quite tasty. And I guess all those nuts provide a dose of protein that's similar to meat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
