Vegetarian food...

[gingerjedi]

...just doesn't seem to fill me up. I had a hard training session yesterday evening, got home and had some pasta with veal in cream sauce. Woke up this morning, ate my banana pancake and a ham sandwich and came to work. Now at lunch the canteen were serving a vegetarian curry with rice, which looked quite filling, so I ate that along with a milkshake and a little tub of blancmangey-ish pudding. But I just didn't feel full, so I went back to the counter and ordered a large sausage. Now I feel pleasantly full, but not bloated.

Anyone with experience of vegetarian food who can advise on what's filling AND tasty?

It's because your body is craving protein and fat, if you have food with cheese, beens or eggs you'll find it more satisfying than veg and rice.

I nice Spanish tortilla with a side of pinto beans covered with melted manchego will sort you out.

Sounds good; probably good for considerable flatulent entertainment too.

Why not try the pie soup?

Not a bad idea, the army liquidise perfectly good meals into soup as it keeps them satisfied longer.

There is a scientific explanation but I don't know this should be?

If you've hired a bunch of 17 year olds from a council estate it's probably best not to serve food that requires knives and forks.

Try chickpea curry and a large nan bread.

Glamorgan sausages, mash and port gravy. If that isn't filling you up, then you're not eating enough. For full effect, eat as much mash as you can as quickly as you can, so that by the time your brain works out that you're full, you're in so much pain, you can't move.
