A Family Divided

In this, the twelfth article in our series about divided families, we talk to a mother and daughter about the problem of being or having a vegetarian in the family.

They don't care

Last year I read an article in Teen magazine which was all about vegetarianism. It was a great article, and it really made me think about what I was eating and how animals were suffering in inhumane conditions. After that I decided to become a vegetarian as well. I bought some recipe books which have got loads of great ideas in them which are easy to cook. It's amazing what most people miss out on. I mean, most people just stick with their typical 'meat and two veg' and don't have the imagination to try anything different. I used to hate Sunday lunch with the lump of tasteless meat and the peas and carrots and potatoes floating in a thick, unappealing gravy.

Now I'm having problems with my parents. Well, mainly my mum. She says it's too much trouble to cook two dinners every day. I agree. So why can't she cook us all a nice lasagne or nut roast? Because my dad expects to have a joint of beef or roast chicken and he won't even consider trying anything new. So, it's not me making my mum cook two meals, it's him.

I told them I would cook dinner for all of us - I mean, at weekends. I can't do it during the week because I'm at school and have homework to do. Anyway, they scoffed at my idea and said I'd probably burn the house down or give them food poisoning. I told them it was because they were used to eating dead animals and that they are worried that they'll find out what they've been missing all these years. So, at the moment, I'm living on cheese on toast or meat and two veg without the meat, or I have to wait until my mum's finished in the kitchen and I can cook my own meals.

I really tried

We're having a lot of problems with Cesca at the moment. All the usual teenage problems with clothes, music and so on, but also with food. It all started when she read an article in one of her magazines and it convinced her to become a vegetarian. She now says that she always hated our Sunday lunches, but she never used to complain and always ate more than anyone else.

When she first started her vegetarianism, she expected me to have loads of interesting ideas for meals, but my husband and I have always preferred more traditional meals, so I hadn't got a clue apart from cheese on toast or eggs. Eventually, she did buy a couple of recipe books, but the recipes are so convoluted and there's always some vegetable or herb that's impossible to find. It'd be alright if we lived in a big city, but out here there's just the village shop or a twenty mile drive to the nearest supermarket.

For a while I did manage to make some meals using ideas in the books, but adapting them slightly because of the things I couldn't buy. They were fine, if you like that sort of thing, but did I get any thanks? Not at all. Just complaints, so I told her she could make her own meals after that. That led to a massive argument and, of course, it meant that we had to try to use the kitchen together, and it's not very big for one person. In the end I told her to wait until I'd finished my cooking. I don't mind her cooking for herself, but I won't have her telling me to move my meat lower down in the oven because the juice (or blood as she calls it) might drip onto her precious nut roast - I mean you get used to cooking in your own way. If I moved the meat down, it would affect the timing, wouldn't it?

Oh, yes, she did offer to cook her meals for us, but my husband refused to even consider the idea. He told her she would probably poison him, which was a bit unfair, but I have to admit that I did laugh when he said it.
