Does anyone know what the Sunday lunches are like. Are they traditional roast beef and Yorkshire puddings?

Bit confused a Sunday Roast is normally a choice of two or three meats loads of vegetables roast potatoes traditional to this country. If you want vegetarian you order a vegetarian meal no problem but you can’t call it a Sunday Roast because it’s not . I think they serve vegetarian meals so should not be a problem.

The word roast can also apply to “ roast potatoes “ - “ nut roast”, and “roasted veg” so the only thing a vegetarian would not eat is meat or fish.

Yes agree Joe but they are asking for a traditional roast dinner which I would think is normally meat as said. It’s the same as vegetarian sausages why call them sausages call them something else why try and make them out as sausages ?? . This debate could last a lifetime just making a point. I still love my Sunday Roast sometimes have two or three meats lovely.

Hi,
Why do Veggies want their cake and eat it? or other food items.
Traditional Sunday Roast meal in the United Kingdom contains meat.
If one requires an vegetarian offering, chose something else...simples!

Have you ever been to a slaughter house ?
Your comments are more than pathetic.

Paul-I think you mean that the old-fashioned, stereotypical view of Sunday roast is that it contains meat. People often want to go for a pub meal with a family member who doesn't eat meat, so it's reasonable to want a non-meat alternative which is why most pubs offer one.

Re: Green Dragon.
- Resident (28th Jun 2023 - 11:17:10)
Passfield Resident yes most pubs offer alternative meals that’s the point you order what you want no problem. But a traditional English Roast is a meal on the menu so a vegetarian would not order it because it’s a meat dish. No problem with that but why do vegetarians try to change people that like to eat meat dishes and ask for alternatives when they are already on the menu for them to choose from.

Highlights how the voices and opinions of minorities are becoming more important than those of the majority. Dangerous precedent when applied to politics and government. Veggies and vegans do seem to have a massive sense of entitlement (and moral superiority!)

- KM (28th Jun 2023 - 13:36:44)
Vegetarians aren't trying to change people that eat meat, they are simply and reasonably expecting a choice for themselves which doesn't involve any animal suffering. You do you, that's your choice. Other people have their choices and their opinions too and you need to respect that aswell. Who really cares about your reality when it comes to a traditional roast. Does it even matter?

All over the world people eat different types of food should not be a problem if you don’t like what’s on offer then go some else. Most places in this country offer all sorts of foods so it shouldn’t be a problem . But I will say a traditional English Roast is something that we are renowned for so it should be kept as it is the same as other countries have their traditional dishes that’s why it matters. Funny old thing my family we have vegetarian vegans some won’t eat any dairy products or anything that has had eyes and of course meat eaters a nightmare for a party but we all eat together and get along fantastic. Salty it’s called an abattoir nowadays very strict controls on animal welfare same with the farmers very strict control on how animals are cared for. We need to all get along and live our lives how we want.

Ian - you say "Veggies and vegans do seem to have a massive sense of entitlement (and moral superiority!)"
What on earth makes you say that? Just because someone asked if they did a veggie option at the Green Dragon?!!!

- Grape (28th Jun 2023 - 16:16:03)
I agree, free choice. Don't like it? Go elsewhere, you'll find what you like eventually.
A simple solution would be clear terminology. Don't call it Traditional Roast, call it a Veggie Plagiarism or something like that.

- ian (28th Jun 2023 - 16:20:38)
in response to Veggie - just my personal experiences and opinion, you don't have to agree, I won't be offended (an uncommon trait in todays world I know).
I was recently in Guido's and there was a bunch of vegan/veggies in there having a moan about the lack of choice for them. They were also most put out when they asked for organic wine to be told all the wine came from grapes, did make me laugh but they seemed offended.

Salty yes nothing is perfect but as the paper said it’s the best way at the moment. There is always a better way in everything. Around the world is not any better the French with their force feeding of geese and the hala meat trade could go on but opinions vary on everything you have your opinion about meat eating the meat eaters have their opinions about vegetarian and vegan eaters but it has been proven that a meat free diet is not a good way to live causes all manor of problems so you have to take supplements to stay healthy so the debate goes on . I suspect there will be a lot of comments that’s expected but my motto in a little of everything does you good. Back to Green Dragon marvellous food great menu very healthy food.

On the fence-the debate does go on. Unfortunately it's a rubbish debate if people trundle out their predudices and can't be bothered to think. I'm not vegetarian, but where on earth has it been proved that being vegetarian is unhealthy? You are talking tripe ( or vegan tripe substitute to be inclusive).

"Avoiding consumption of animal-sourced food may also be related to higher rates of depression and anxiety. Hair loss, weak bones, muscle wasting, skin rashes, hypothyroidism, and anemia are other issues that have been observed in those strictly following a vegan diet." |

Ed-I referred to a vegetarian diet-not a vegan diet. Before you take sides in an argument you at least should be confident in your facts. Are you not supposed to be impartial?

Passfield Resident as I have said I have vegetarians , vegans , and meat eaters. The vegans and vegetarians all have to take supplements to compensate for not getting the right amount of good things from their diet. Ok you can get along on those diets but it’s not good for your body. But I’m not an expert only going on my experience with my family members. A varied diet is the best gives you all the vitamins you need.
