Episode 8 'We Watched... Seaspiracy' - the final episode in series 1, on the ladies quest to eat more fish-free & meat-free meals


Listen Later

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?

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.

The ladies are still on their quest to keep to 4 to 5 fish-free and meat-free days a week, having gone from eating meat and fish virtually every day of their lives.

Harri’s had some delicious Itsu veg dumpling parcels, from the frozen food aisle of all places! Who knew! Steam and serve with hoisin dipping sauce – DELICIOUS – so check your grocery store frozen food sections guys! And Prissy’s had her first vegan ice-cream – loving life!

The ladies have been streaming series ‘Click Bait’ for Harri, and Prissy reviews, ‘The Act’ on Hulu, ‘The Suicide Squad’ (2021) and ‘Cinderella’ (2021) featuring Camila Cabello… and advises watching ‘The Courier’ instead – a spy story based on true events, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as her top watch.

Prissy’s tried to up her lunch game – finding a spring roll filling recipe with great textures and flavors, ‘Egg Roll Bowls’ from Delish.com – highlighted with ginger and Prissy does her usuals swap outs featuring her beloved Impossible plant-based mince – definitely one that’ll be shared on the Insta page if you fancy trying for a #WithoutWednesday – and also serves as a good main meal with rice. And another lunch win was Prissy’s veggie burritos. And for main, another Delish.com dish, ‘Skinny Alfredo’ pasta made with Greek yoghurt  – another absolute winner!

Harri’s been on the veggie tray bake trail, using up ingredients, seasoning them well and combining with salad due to a busy work schedule – but still keeping on a tasty track to keeping meat and fish from making up the bulk of meals… she’s even been eating home grown potatoes from a bucket in the garden!

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’.
