Once again, brilliant advice from the Peta2 staff :o)
I totally agree with them: share a yummy veg*n dish with your whole family and don't start a heated discussion about animal rights/veg*nism at the table.
If your family have provided you with a veg*n alternative make sure you let them know how grateful you are and how tasty it is! (And even if you don't like it, pretend you do or they might not try again next year!!)
If they're interested and do ask questions while everyone is eating, say that you'llbe happy to talk about it with them later and offer to show them some leaflets/websites with more information. Think of alternative topics of conversation so you're ready to change the subject easily.
James: You can buy Quorn roasts from most UK supermarkets (although they're vegetarian they're not vegan). You can also buy Cheatin' Roasts (made by Redwood Foods) and they're normally found in health food shops like Holland & Barrett.
