How about falafel? Good when just made in a pita sandwich, with some hommus or cold on a salad of mixed greens with a greek dressing. Use the below recipe, or if you can find a box mix- they are actually really really good.








Falafel


1 cup dried chickpeas


1/2 large onion, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)


2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley


2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro


1 teaspoon salt


1/2-1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper


4 cloves of garlic


1 teaspoon cumin


1 teaspoon baking powder


4-6 tablespoons flour


Soybean or vegetable oil for frying


Chopped tomato for garnish


Diced onion for garnish


Diced green bell pepper for garnish


Tahina sauce


Pita bread


Preparation1. Put the chickpeas in a large bowl and add enough cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches. Let soak overnight, then drain. Or use canned chickpeas, drained.


2. Place the drained, uncooked chickpeas and the onions in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the parsley, cilantro, salt, hot pepper, garlic, and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.





3. Sprinkle in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of the flour, and pulse. You want to add enough bulgur or flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands. Turn into a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for several hours.





4. Form the chickpea mixture into balls about the size of walnuts, or use a falafel scoop, available in Middle-Eastern markets.





5. Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a deep pot or wok and fry 1 ball to test. If it falls apart, add a little flour. Then fry about 6 balls at once for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Stuff half a pita with falafel balls, chopped tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and pickled turnips. Drizzle with tahina thinned with water.
Try cold noodles, you can use spaghetti, rice vermicelli..etc, but choose very thin noodles.





Make sauce with chicken soup stocks, soy sauce, salt, vinegar(or lemon juice), pepper, and chopped garlic and ginger little sauteed with olive oil.





Boil noodles properly and cool them very much in iced water,and drain water off.





Put noodles on a dish and pour souse, served with shredded cabbage or lettuce, carrots, ham, tomatoes.

PIZZA? i like eating pizza hot or cold and you can make yor own pizza and put whatever you want on it that you fany at the time? you could probably eat haf for lunch and the other half for your tea and you can add fries if you want?


CRUNCHY SALADS? if you want t be healthy a crunchy salad would be good? there are so many vegetables to use? have a cold crunchy salad of iceburg lettuce,cucumber, bell peppers, onions and a little vinigarette? or if you want it warm just get beansprouts, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms,onions,and noodles and put them in a wok and you got yourself a stir fry? you can buy lovely sauces from the supermarket like black bean sauce, plum sauce, soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce? good luck!
Get the Vegan cookbook ';Veganomicon';, it has very good recipes. Here's their website too

To the answerer above me... How is 'chicken soup stock' vegetarian? Or ham for that matter??
