Example: It's a shame; not only are nuts quite ridiculously nutritious but, as anyone who's ever shelled out (sorry) for a tiny glass of pistachios in a pub will know, they're a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. But although I happen to have a soft spot for nut roast – an option often preferable to the meat that emerged from the school kitchen – it seems I'm in a cranky minority. A request for recipe recommendations was met with a polite silence on Twitter: vegetarianism, apparently, has moved on a bit. You don't see Yotam Ottolenghi faffing about with nut roasts, do you? But I'm determined to revive the fortunes of this much-maligned classic. After all, Christmas isn't Christmas without a luxury nut selection.

Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The parsnip, stilton and chestnut combination may taste good, but it's not terribly decorative. In fact, dull's the word, a lingering adjectival ghost of nut roasts past that I'm keen to banish from the table. Mary Berry wraps her version in strips of chargrilled aubergine but, although it looks rather smart, I worry that something so Mediterranean will stick out like a sore thumb on the plate, given that many vegetarians want to enjoy the same roast potatoes, sprouts and sauces as everyone else. Instead, inspired by the stuffed cabbage rolls eaten at Christmas in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, I use blanched savoy cabbage leaves to wrap my parsnippy parcel, adding a touch of festive greenery to the dish.
Word: yeast extract Part of Speech: noun 1. any of various forms of processed yeast products used as food additives or flavourings. Labels: uncountable, usually Example: Stilton works brilliantly with parsnips, providing a savoury richness which feels a little more special than common or garden yeast extract.

Word: grandiflora Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From translingual Grandiflora, from New Latin grandiflōra, the feminine form, following the feminine gender of rosa (“rose”), of grandiflōrus (“having large flowers”), from grandis (“large”) + flōs (“flower”, stem flōr-) + -us (suffix forming adjectives; feminine -a). 1. A rose of the Grandiflora class of roses created in the middle of the 20th century as backcrosses of hybrid teas and floribundas that fit neither category. Example: “[…] The creation of the Grandiflora rose marks another significant milestone in horticultural progress, and opens new avenues for the use and enjoyment of roses both in the garden and in the home”. Example: Many countries still refuse to recognize “grandiflora” as a legitimate name, largely on the ground that it seems to imply that the individual blooms are unusually large, whereas most grandifloras have somewhat smaller blooms than the larger hybrid teas.

Jackson Women's Health Organization, a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling which stated that access to abortion was not a constitutionally protected right, overturning the earlier Roe ruling which established this unenumerated right.
