[quote=Anonymous]I would think most vegetarians prefer just to be accommodated with a simple omission. So if your plan is meat/potato/veg add a salad with cheese and nuts and bread and they won't eat the meat. Offer additional cheese on the side. Salad, potato, veg, and bread is a plenty good meal. And to be fair, if you're eating something like a bowl of greens, a potato or risotto or polenta dish with cream and cheese, a hunk of bread with tomato herb butter, and some balsamic vinaigrette, parm, pecans, olives, and beets (this is an example) you do not need a hunk of salmon or slice of filet to round out your dietary needs for the evening.

If it's pasta based, pasta alone is fine.

If you're grilling (unlikely in winter) have some veggies and offer to everyone.

Some vegetarians don't want the spotlight of something special they have to take, eat, talk about. Others are "veggies" due to restricted eating and you're going to trouble for no reason. Most are totally reasonable and will just eat vegetables and some other non animal protein and call it a meal. [/quote]
