I do the Xmas dinner as MrsF can't multitask and used to go into meltdown. I cater for 4 meat eaters, 2 vegi's and my vegan daughter, it is a right palaver.

This goes down well with "normal" Xmas accompaniments & veg gravy, I like it on sandwiches with salt too.

I liked Quorn Roast. Used to buy it when the kids were young (4 brought up vegetarian). Don't buy it now that they've all left home. My wife, like @vickster can't stand quorn products.

How about Mushroom filo pies?

I'm guessing mushroom is a key ingredient...see OP

I'm not hosting, I am a guest

Even better, sit back and make your hosts squirm as they struggle to accommodate you

Being serious, I would let them know that you will turn up with a small one pot for the oven and that they don't need to go for extra effort for you. The nut roast, although a cliche, looks ideal.

When our whole family were veggie I used to do a fancy pants three layer nut roast.. One part cashews and mushroom, one part chestnut and tomato, and the third spinach and walnut.. All with onions, herbs etc in each layer too..

Might be a bit of a fiddle for one person.. Although if you made it bigger, the others could try some too..

Can be made well in advance, and then reheated (even microwaved) on the day..

Substitute the mushrooms with something else you do like, such as grated carrot.

Of course simplest is to buy a ready made thingy from a shop.. But they're often a bit on the bland and boring side

Try the Sainsbury pre order stuff. You have to collect it but it is good quality.

Thanks - Sainsbury's is the one proper supermarket I've not yet got to for the Christmas catalogue
