I made vegetarian brunch for Easter:

Gayest menu ever!

"Rocket salad" You must be British. Menu sounds delicious.

Are you this guy, OP?

You do realize that all of your guests went out for bacon cheeseburgers after leaving your place?

Very nice.

I have to go look up "Lady Baltimore cake" now....

My rule for tossed vegetable dishes is that all of the major components must be cooked or they all must be raw.

I also tend to serve more savoury items than I do desserts.

Sorry, just noticed the scones.

I'd rather eat pussy....Meat is good!

How can anyone get full with that rabbit food?

Fiber r9, aka ruffage.

Sounds good, OP, especially that cake. How come arugula is now called "rocket"?

Sounds wonderful, OP.

That's what they call it in England, r11.

Not quite enough main dish types of food. Vegetarian is super easy. Vegan is the challenge. I find it impossible to make truly satisfying vegan menus.

Anyway, I would suggest not having muffins AND scones, but substituting the scones with a another main dish (mushroom pasta alfredo?) and perhaps another green salad. But that's me. I always err on the side of bounty.

Love the subtle shade you threw r13😏

Sounds delicious, OP.

R13 lots of Indian dishes are or can be made vegan, and they're quite filling. I also like veganized Thai curries.

And they all taste and smell Indian, r15.

Vegetarian I can deal with, but vegan no thank you. I find them either to be obnoxious or loathsome.

I have to have Lady Baltimore cake before I die!

I feel the same about people who insist on posting with a username on an anonymous board

Thanks, R12. However, I notice that Americans have been calling arugula "rocket" as well. I'm guessing it's a restaurant thing. I was guessing that OP was American (because Baltimore cake is an American thing).

The fact that you capitalized "fresh" in describing your insipid, cliched vinaigrette proves what an insufferable cunt you are.

Sounds delish OP, are you a trained chef?

How fun to do a campy retro '80s menu!

Asparagus? So not a golden afternoon for your guests?

R14, thank you for pointing it out! Seriously. I have been trying to knock that crap off and sometimes don't even notice it. Am grateful to be made aware.

Muffins, scones and cake....not well balanced.

[quote]The English common name rocket derives from the French roquette, a diminutive of the Latin word eruca, which once designated a particular plant in the family Brassicaceae (probably a type of cabbage). Arugula (/əˈruːɡələ/), the common name now widespread in the United States and Canada, entered American English from a non-standard dialect of Italian. The standard Italian word is rucola, a diminutive of the Latin "eruca". The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first appearance of "arugula" in American English to a 1960 article in The New York Times by food editor and prolific cookbook writer Craig Claiborne.

GAG ME.

I'm going to make a frittata tomorrow with leftover asparagus and Pecorino Romano.

I hope you used creamery butter and farm fresh eggs!

r30 I'll use the $3.19 XL Cage Free Eggs (orange-brown wrapper) I get at WFM, plus their less expensive butter.

I hope you used seven minute frosting on your Lady Baltimore OP.
