I forgot to post... my vegetarian Christmas Ham that I made last year:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 37246[/ATTACH]
It is a soy product from Astrid och Aporna, bought at Good Store in Stockholm, cooked with breadcrumbs, mustard and cloves.
It tasted all right, just as a Christmas Ham should, but the texture is even throughout. As you can see, it is not very large, but it lasted for one person up until New Year's.

Cool! I got a Tofurky for my newly veggie friends for Christmas/Solstice dinner. I've been veggie my whole life, so I find imitation meat convenient, but would usually rather just make some curry or something. Do you have many Indian, Thai, or Ethiopian restaurants in Stockholm?

That's an interesting take on things... when I decided to go vegetarian I shunned meat substitutes.  The few that friends got me to try were nothing like the real deal and were usually not all that good on their own merit.  The only exception to this was Garden Burgers... they're nothing like meat and are quite tasty.  At least they were back when I was veg, I think they've changed the recipe a couple times since.

Gardenburgers are pretty good!

I'm not much for the visual presentation of food, but here's what I was making when I started reading this thread:

It's a sort of Indian/Thai curry hybrid, with a coconut milk base, organic brown rice, lots of broccoli.......

Hmm... I was gonna start a new thread but the title of this thread seems more befitting.  Here's how they do hot dogs in Taiwan.

I have never tried any Ethiopian restaurant. I have heard of only one, and it was invite only. Last month, I found some injera bread in a store and tried it out with a few stews, but the taste of the bread was too sharp for me.

There are plenty of Asian restaurants of all sorts in Stockholm. Thailand is the most popular tourist destination for Swedes, so a demand for Thai food is high and there are plenty of places, from cheap street stands to expensive. However, most low to mid-level Asian restaurants in Stockholm are pretty stream-lined with a menu that has been adapted to Swedish tastes and way of serving. There is often only one vegetarian dish on the menu: stir-fried or stewed "mixed vegetables" with rice.
I have had a few really good "dal" (Indian lentil stew), tofu and seitan dishes, but you need to know where to go to get them.

Previous Christmases, I have made mock Christmas "ham" out of tofu or Quorn. I think that the most part of the Christmas ham is not the "ham" itself but the taste of cloves, sweet strong mustard and apple sauce together.

Gives new meaning to the phrase 'eat a d**k'.
