veal ragu? quite franly i don't even know what a veal ragu is! veal is vitello, and ragu is just another word for bolognese really. however since it is something based on veal, no, that i cant do.

however a bolognese is easy as pie - pun intended
you substitute the ground meat with veggie mince. taste it, you might be surprised.

Has anyone tried Dutch food? I tried the panekoek in South Africa and then in Then Netherlands (the latter were obviously not traditional and quite fancy). My two last days there, without much money left, I had to go for some weird stuff that you buy from a machine.
i was recently in utrecht and was invited to a friend's mother's house for a traditional family meal. however since they knew my "tastes", or distates according to you, they made special veg dishes for me.

however i noted that their main meal consisted of at least 3 different types of meat, all cooked at table, fondue style.

i've never been to south africe so i wouldn't know of south african food. but yes, i saw those awful things parading as food that are dispensed from a machine - in amsterdam i think.
