Rachael Ray Vegetarian Sloppy Joes With Portobello Mushrooms

Rachael Ray featured vegetarian sloppy joes on her daytime television show, The Rachael Ray Show, today.

Mushrooms are one of the few vegetables that provide a “meaty” texture and feel in the mouth and because of this, many meat eaters are even satisfied when sharing a dish that contain the fungi with vegetarians.

Diced portobellos are smothered in a homemade tangy tomato sauce seasoned with onions, peppers and garlic before being placed between two rolls. Don’t forget to opt for a vegetarian friendly Worcestershire sauce without anchovies.

The newly crowned Miss Scotland, Nicola Mimnagh, is a 5’11” beauty queen who isn’t afraid to mess up her face.

She’s been boxing for 15 years, a sport she plans to continue during her reign as a way to stay fit between public appearances. One could guess she fills up on vegetarian Chinese food before delivering the punches to her opponent. Mimnagh told The Sun, “I also have a real weak spot in Chinese food. I can’t get enough of vegetarian chow-mein. I’m the takeaway queen.”

Take-out is awesome, but if you’re in the middle of a bean bag punch routine at home, it might be a bit much to make it to the Chinese drive-through, so why not make your own Chow Mein?

Kelis doesn’t win any popularity points among vegetarians and animal activists for a whole bunch of reasons, specifically, having no problems wearing fur on her head. But it’s interesting to know that this PETA hater who calls herself “the biggest carnivore” grew up with a father who preferred tofu to tilapia.

“I guess he wanted me to be too,” Kelis says in The Guardian about her strict vegetarian father, “but my grandmother gave me a chicken doner and it was all over – I became a meat-eater, full-on. Zero guilt. My last supper would be a charcuterie smorgasbord with every kind of meat, and sauces to dip them in. When I get through this album’s cycle I want to develop a Kelis sauce range. I’m a saucy saucier.”

Paul McCartney has given his support to an anti-whaling campaign that urges the Norwegian government not to lift a 25 year ban on commercial whaling.

McCartney said, “It’s time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone. In the 21st century how can we even contemplate killing whales – or any animal – in such barbaric ways? Governments should act on their responsibilities and protect these beautiful creatures.”
