Oops, just put my vote in when logged in as Becca. She can use mine to vote (probably for some wussy veggie dish) but bear this in mind when looking at boy/girl stuff.

There is a 'warm red onion, goats cheese & pinenut tart with rocket & sun-blushed tomato salad' as one of the vegetarian options, but it sounds like a side salad - sorry!

And wtf is Cullen Skink?

I don't see a "Member's recipes" section on the website - perhaps this glaring oversight can be resolved? It could have loads of ideas for starving yourself for budding lightweights, plus JPDs 4000 kcal megameals.

Where is the Neil Talbott memorial vegetarian option?

(for those that don't know, at the Mays dinner last year, Neil, then secretary, said "the vegetarian option is to give me your meat (yum). However, if enough people bombard Andrew with complaints about this, he might overrule me. Obviously I'd have to resign, but I think you can probably cope now.")
