Harri B (UK) and Prissy Ryan (LA) are two friends who LOVE to eat fish and meat but since they watched 'Seaspiracy' it's ruined everything for them. Before watching ‘Seaspiracy’ they'd never seriously considered a change to their eating habits but after seeing this film - and loads of long-distance chats they felt compelled to at least try to become some sort of flexitarians. So what was it about this film that made two non-vegetarian, fish-eating Northerners decide to look at what they eat differently and reduce their meat and fish intake?
If you’ve ever had a friend who's become an overnight vegetarian and felt like you just can’t do it – join Harri B and Prissy, recording from their respective wardrobe/'recording studios'. Absolute rookie vegetarians - a self-confessed veg dodger and a calamari addict - both will share the ups and downs of saying goodbye to meat and fish dishes making up the bulk of their meals UK and Stateside. As well as chatting all-things-food, the ladies talk streaming, film, and TV, and generally about stuff they’ve seen on Instagram... combined with laughing... a lot.
This week’s food fails include a Paneer-less curry... because team Harri B forgot to cook the Paneer and Harri fails to resist a full English breakfast on a trip out. Prissy’s never touching kale again after making her own soggy kale chips (crisps for the UK!). There's a win for resisting take-out (Harri's usual default of ham pizza), Harri's vowing never to have a beetroot burger again. The week's hits include some delicious meals they’re definitely adding to their rotating menus, including a meat substitute in the style of pulled pork in buns. The duo have chosen quick recipes with ingredients that are easy to find - and talk about the emotional pull that certain foods can have over us.
There’s an array of budget recipes Prissy’s found on the BBC Good Food website – and is LOVING - and she’s up to her usual tricks of swapping out ingredients she refuses to eat. Harri is finally prepped to try Tofu and also confesses to having no discipline with her phone and social media so sets herself yet another challenge.
The decision to change their diet is for the love of the planet but make no mistake, this really, honestly is a pair of reluctant, part-time vegetarians. If you watched 'Seaspiracy' and feel guilty and helpless because you don't think you can change a lifetime's eating habits - look no further - you've found your tribe. No judgment here - just encouragement for everyone to give some form of part-time vegetarianism a go – a casual foody support group.
Join Harri B and Prissy Ryan each week on their journey to sharing the tasty recipes they've loved, and anything else that pops into their heads - all because they watched one documentary. You're listening to, ‘We Watched… Seaspiracy’.
