If someone asks for vegetarian food, they don’t want meat. Might not be religious, but it doesn’t matter. If they wanted meat, they wouldn’t have asked for vegetables. |
OP, are the hosts actually Indian? The whole premise is hard to believe. |
I’ve answered this multiple times. Yes, the host is Indian. |
Host probably got invited to some skimpy dinner and this is the revenge. |
Is it a single dude? A young person? The whole thing is pretty bizarre. We normally kill ourselves, creating a giant feast. -Another Indian American |
A couple |
None of this makes any sense. Are you sure someone didn't misunderstand that the hosts are providing the meat options, plus naan/rice, and the guests bring veggies? When is the event? Have you decided whether you're going, and what you're bringing? |
Ugh. That’s exactly why I posted. Besides for posting the email, I’ve given all the details. Like I said, we committed and then she said it was in Indian potluck. |

Just take roasted vegetables it will go with any kind of dish.

Let me get this straight by another example.
So, let me provide the buns and tell my guests to bring the variety of hot dogs and sausages. And the guests are from another country. |
|
For a party, the guests are just as important. You can't ask guests to bring things they don't normally eat, even if you think they are very adventurous.
|
Maybe I’m just naive, but I always consider guests THE most important part of a get-together. |
|
Tell your hosts that the other Indian-Americans are appalled.
Junglee people!! Naak Kataa ke rakh diya hai sare desiyon ka. Kasman-khaniyan!! |
I'm glad someone finally said it. |
Cleaning the house after a party is pain, bringing simple dish not so much. |
