I am a vegetarian. You've known me as a vegetarian for 20 years. Please do not invite me
to dinner if the only thing that I can eat is bread and salad or some frozen prepackaged vegetarian thing.

You've been a guest at my house for many years. I've fed you turkey, fried chicken, pork roast, steak, burgers, brats, and dogs.

None of which I eat but I purchase and prepare and receive much praise for the deliciousness because, even if I can't taste any of what I've prepared for you, I've take the time to understand the nuances of scent and touch to deliver amazing food.

So no. Frozen tortellinis and jarred sauce is not an acceptable substitution for the feast that you have prepared for all of your other guests.

Here ya go.

1. Many people don't have any idea

how to prepare a vegetarian meal. It isn't on their radar. I also think it is thoughtless not to reach out to you and ask for advice and recipes, but a lot of people just don't think.

2. Yet again. I got invited for dinner and was assured that their would be a vegetarian

option.

While everyone was enjoying meat lasagna, I had caprese salad and bread.

Really dudes? You couldn't have made a small pan of meatless lasagna?
How about a bale of hay. :yawn:

35. What I would do: decide if you really want to be friends with these people or not.

If you do want to continue being friends, first, stop preparing meat for them. Obviously, you resent it unless the equivalent is being done for you and what you choose to prepare for them is your choice, not theirs. Either give them a nice, vegetarian meal or invite them for dessert, coffee and cordials. Or for cocktails and lots of meatless appetizers. Or go out to eat somewhere that offers something you are happy to eat. And enjoy the event, without resentment.

Or, if you are preparing meat because you like the praise about the deliciousness, recognize that and decide if the praise is enough reward.

As for their invites, after 20 years, you know what the drill is. So, fill up before you go over to their place so that whatever they give you is a snack. And enjoy the event without resentment.

Let go of all else.

Or drop them as friends.

Charming folks.

While I ask about eating preferences, I'm not going to change my menu for them.  I'm not going 100% vegetarian for anyone.  My ancestors didn't fight their way to the top of the food chain for me to honor them by eating leaves and twigs.

I've tried some vegetarian meals and some of them were quite good. Lots of veggies and stuff, but I simply could not do it full time. Gotta have my steak, bacon, burgers and stuff to counter-balance the health benefits of veggies...

A well-prepared vegetarian meal - especially one that wasn't an attempt to imitate something it isn't - can be delicious. And as long as it isn't vegan, it can fairly easily have all the various amino acids (protein building blocks) humans need. But including meat in one's diet gives a fuller range of flavors as well as the full range of necessary amino acids.

Not to mention, telling your buddy you're going to have a beer and arugula just isn't the same as saying you're going to have a burger and a beer.

If you're a vegetarian you deserve nothing special from me.  When people have picky food preferences, I don't feel like it's my job to cater to their whims.  That's what restaurants are for.  And I do hope that this idiot, if he/she has a cat or dog, isn't slowly killing it by feeding it only rabbit food. :p

BTW, is this new or has DU always had some voices of sanity, like cherokeeprogressive and now this merrily?

No doubt all of it was made from imitation bean paste and other "It tastes just like meat or cheese" things from the health food store.

71. Can I ask a question?

You don't eat meat, but do you wear it?
Do you wear leather shoes, a leather belt, have a leather wallet or such?
I have gone all the way, and no longer even have anything that comes from dead animals that I know of.
Just a thought, that if you are a vegetarian, and really care about animals, don't even wear them.

Jonestown.
They made people feel uncomfortable to death.
CNN put on a special about it this weekend.
They only lightly touched on the socialism/communism aspects of it.
Not one of the approximately 30 survivors blamed communism or repudiated it.
Nor did CNN of course.
