Sciencegeek: "What will always baffle me is vegetarian bologna or salami... big bucks for a few measley slices. WTF?"

Agree, there are better things to put in your sandwiches / wraps anyway. I'm a massive fan of hummus - including the plethora of bastardised alternatives (one of my favourite hummus-style dips/spreads is a cannelloni bean puree flavoured with garlic, lemon and fresh rosemary.) I've got a shed-load of sun-dried tomatoes at the mo' so I'll be making a batch of sun-dried tomato tapenade with those shortly. I think the key to decent vegan food, is looking outside of one's own food-culture, so many other traditional food-cultures make huge use of grains, vegetables and pulses.
