    1. Hi Siobhan,

      Thanks for the positive feedback. However, I'm sure you'll understand when I say I prefer to grow readership the old-fashioned way. Even if it is slower.

      Besides, Becki, Vegetarian Detective, who's maybe a wee bit suspicious by nature, thinks putting "Body" in the subject line is not the very best plan...

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace . Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

#110 The Case of Poutine

"Poutine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."—Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. Seriously...yum! ♥ Becki PS To leave me (and Cynthia) a message, click on the comment button below.
