In the Netherlands a traditional dinner has to be served with some kind of meat. That's also what I'm used to. My mom doesn't make dinner without meat.
With my difficult schedules I often don't eat home anymore and I have to say I don't miss meat all that much. Sure, I still like it, but a day without it is no big deal anymore.
The meat I eat is mostly pork. Sometimes it's beef, but I'm not a big fan of that. Chicken is something I like very much, especially since I can add herbs to my taste. I do eat fish, but not much. And occasionally turkey.
All I care about lately with food are the vitamins. So lots of fruit, salads and pasta are very welcome. And that's even far easier to prepare.
