That’s great! And here in Canada, we actually do use metric (it’s the official measurements), so glad it worked for you, too!

Not only was it a hit with dinner, more has disappeared this evening, so the popularity is definitely not waning! I just hope there’s enough left for my lunch tomorrow…

Thank you again, it really was a great recipe (and thank you for including the gram measurements – it made things a lot easier for a poor brit!)

Stephen, I can’t tell you how happy that comment made me!! I am so glad you enjoyed it and that it was a hit with the rest of the dinner. Yay!

Thank you so much – I’d not tried nut loaf before and was ‘forced’ to by the visit of a vegie friend. I googled to try to find one that suited my diet and arrived here. Absolutely gorgeous…sliced perfectly and went really nicely with traditional roast dinner fare.

[...] when I think of Thanksgiving, I think of rich, dense, and toothsome nut roasts, savory pies, casseroles and other labor-intensive, slow-cooking main courses. I think of rich, [...]

Ah! I did look through the comments but didn’t notice you’d said anything negative. . . no worries. We all love nutroast!

hi ricki – I think Jo-Ann means my comment, not your post – and I had to think back a few years to where the comment about brits came from – I give a few examples in the Neb at Nutroast post that you link to in your post – Nigel Slater, Nigella Lawson and the Observer all make snide remarks about nut roast or nut cutlets so that is the sort of Brits I refer to – I know that many love to eat it – but it has got a sort of reputation as boring dry veg food too!

Thanks, Jo-Ann! I’m not sure where you see that comment. . . as far as I can tell, I didn’t say anywhere that Brits complain about nut roast! The idea of enclosing it in pastry is a brilliant one–I think I must try that.

Bit confused about you statement that brits complain about nut roast when it is part of every vegans diet I know and I have quite a large circle of freinds both at work and at home. We use it as above or for special occasions we make a wholemeal shortcrust pastry filled with nut roast and have it with roasted root vegetables and either rainbow salad (thi, apple and beetroot)with s simple home made french dressing. Or with a tomato and mushroom gravy.

Hi Ana,
I don’t see any reason why not, as long as you understand that the taste and texture will change somewhat. Let me know how it turns out!
