Reawyn look up spicy aubergine &chickpeas on the bbc goodfood site. It is really good, and simple to make. Had it for tea last night. The aubergine slices can be prepared the day before, and the sauces are really easy to throw together. I used mint in my version of the recipe, and i find it works really well.

You sound like a product of the 'eat what you're given' generation ;)
You're lucky that there was no one there to tell her what's really in sausages (snouts and rectums and carcass slurry).then there really could have been tears!

Lol. Another good sorting out method is to serve her up a pile of actual vegetables. Often 12 year olds don't like vegetables, especially salad, unless it is between two pieces of white bread.

Oh, i faced this challenge at Christmas time. I prepared and froze spinach & feta lasagne (cut in portions before freezing),and Zucchini fritters. Stuffed eggs were very popular with the vego family members, as was roasted garlicky vegetable salad with a balsamic dressing. Apart from that I just provided a variety of food at each meal. It worked OK. Actually, I found that the meat eaters hoed into the vegetarian options first. I found I had to tell the vego people to help them selves first, otherwise it would be all gone!

The point was that as with most kids sausages done on a bbq are fairly irresistible. Just have to find something that they are NOT going to say "No" to. She already knew what was in them, and the reality is nothing at all like the scaremongering on tv etc. At least not where I get my sausages from (local butcher).
That so funny must have been good, we have had that happen before too.

This. borrow their book(s) from your library. Delicious food even meat-eaters will love, using mostly everyday ingredients.

Alison and Simon Holst have a new vegetarian recipe book out.Think it combines their other veg books plus vegetarian recipes from all of their cookbooks.It is very good as usual and will be a best seller like the original one.

I always laugh at the "even meat eaters like it". Of course we do! I love any vegetarian meal with a hot sizzling rare steak!
