By Margaret Lawson Christmas fare This Christmas let us step out of the rut of tradition and make the
festival a humane and special one, at least where Christians are
concerned, leaving the poor slaughtered bodies of the creatures to the
unbelievers. Our menu need not be complicated or exotic and might read: fruit
juice or carrot soup (delicious soups can be made with the help of herbs
or yeast extract instead of bones); Brazil nut roast with chestnut
stuffing - or even a simple chestnut stew; Brussels sprouts; potatoes
baked or boiled in their jackets; stuffed oranges, or fruit salad. Mince
pies and plum pudding could of course be included, made with non-animal
ingredients, the fat being obtainable from health food shops or good
grocers. In fact vegetarian mincemeat and plum puddings are obtainable
ready made. Such a meal would be doubly satisfying, not only physically but
spiritually in the knowledge that we have at last risen above the
ancient pagan customs on which our traditional Christmas celebrations
are regrettably founded. Life and Work magazine Return to Margaret Lawson: Letters |
