Beef, Pork and Turkey - they all eat vegetation and that as near to a Vegetarion Christmas dinner I would want to get

A nice stuffed squash recipe:

alternatively, a mushroom tart using pre-bought puff pastry and making a tasty onion and mushroom bechamel, topped with some rocket. Can be made well in advance and takes minutes to cook.

I usually serve up breaded brie with cranberry sauce for a starter or (if not serving mushroom main course) I do a stuffed mushroom - large mushroom, stuffed with a mix of the stem chopped up and boursin cheese and topped with breadcrumbs then grilled until the cheese bubbles, serve on a roasted red pepper sauce (literally a red pepper, sprinkled with olive oil cooked in oven for a few minutes, skinned and blitzed in a food processor - generally these are my favourites because I have the ingredients on hand and I can cook them in advance, leaving in the fridge, then put into the oven while everything has finishing cooking.

Both the starters are served to meat and non meat eaters - nobody has complained yet!

That sounds lovely to me and I'd happily eat the lot.  I think vegetarian food is very tasty (or should be) and as veg growers on here I think we should all be eating much more veg and less meat.  I make veg the star of my meals instead of just the side show to the meat.  I can't afford to buy meat very often any way

This is a magazine I subscribe to and these are some recipes from their vegetarian section. They're always very tasty and healthy.

Thanks for the link Trillium.

My father was busy telling me what "we" could do for Christmas and who we might invite for dinner. The vegetarian option will be a necessity if my son and his partner come for dinner as she is a vegetarian (often cooks some great meals herself!!)

Thanks some great ideas may make 2 or three things for over the festive period and choose on the day. Like the mushroom and onion/leek tart and the stuffed mushroom got some nice cheese ordered. I've got Sat, Sunday and Monday this year to prepare.
