How far would you go to accommodate a vegan / last minute guest?

Pasta and vegetarian spaghetti sauce. Veggi meatballs or button mushrooms in it.

Deep fried eggplant or okra. Season with salt, red pepper and lemon juice. Serve with a quinoa and lentil pilaf with mixed veggies.

Pumpkin in Penang curry with Thai basil and cashews. Served with plain rice.

Cholley (or what white people call chickpeas stew through cultural misappropriation) with bhature

Why is it a problem? Oh, you don’t like your brother…. 😅😅😅Why have Christmas with him??

Most people on this thread would eat almost none of these dishes.

I'm vegetarian and would be beyond happy to eat any of those, any night of the week.

How about the last-minute guests bring their own veganized dishes at this late date?

So do you not want guests? It’s hard to tell. Very hostile.

I welcome invited guests. If someone imposes last-minute, they can bring their own Special Princess Fare. Allergies and legitimate food restrictions are fine. Vegetarian is fine. Vegan is just try-hard and beyond. You want attention, you want disruption, you can bring your own food.

How do you know if a food restriction is legitimate? I have a gluten sensitivity that exacerbates an autoimmune condition that almost no one knows I have. Because I can tolerate minor cross-contamination (i.e. food fried in the same oil), people make jokes all the time that I'm faking it. Do you need a note from my doctor to take my medical condition seriously?

What are you basing that on? Nothing the PP wrote is unusual food for someone living in a major American metropolitan area like the DMV.

What do you consider American food? Most “American “ food is appropriated from other cultures.

I would accommodate them. But last minute, if I truly can't change my menu, go to whole foods and buy something prepared. Not ideal if you love to host and cook, but as a last minute guest that gesture would go a long way.

Let’s be real. The problem here is that you don’t like the girlfriend. If you didn’t have an issue with her dietary restrictions, you’d have a problem with something else. So it doesn’t matter what you do or don’t do for food because it’s not about the food.

Pasta, canned sauce, throw in some parsley or veggies sautéed if you want. Done.

I’d tell you what my menu is and you are welcome to bring anything else you like.

Okay, so your solution is not to accommodate food issues. This is fine, but why judge people's issues if you aren't also going to have to do anything about them.

Your “issue” is a moving target. There would be naturally GF items on my menu for you. But whatever, honestly.
