[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dairy free non vegan raising hand. Please don’t buy fake dairy or meat. It’s not palatable. Meze is fantastic. [/quote]

How about it’s one meal, someone was kind enough to invite you over, eat what you are served. Like a grown-up.

I don’t love fish. But I eat it if that is what is served. I fill up on sides. There was once where I didn’t enjoy anything offered at a dinner party. But I ate some, made pleasant conversation, and ate again at home. It’s one meal. It’s someone’s home, not a restaurant. [/quote]

I’ll quietly not eat or find what I can. Forcing someone to eat food they aren’t favoring is TOXIC behavior.  I don’t expect to be treated differently than another guest, and that includes expectations of my eating what I’m told like a child. That is not a host behavior, it’s an emotional response. I’d be bummed if didn’t like something I made too, but that could be any guest with any dish. My best friend is allergic to blue cheese…guess when I found out? At a special dinner I dumped a wad of $$ blue cheese into. I was more upset that she was put in the spot. Personally I can’t eat a lot of substitute foods, so no I want eat it anyway. But unless you’re making a point of watching me you prob won’t notice. You’re reaction is greater than it needs to be here btw. [/quote]

You’re very amazing and special that you don’t like vegan cheese or processed vegan burgers or whatever. That doesn’t mean you CAN’T eat them. It’s one meal. Just like I don’t like many types of fish, but I CAN eat them. It’s one meal. It’s not that you “can’t eat a lot of substitute foods,” it’s that you prefer not to.

Of course I don’t make a point of watching what my guests eat. But if you’re obnoxious enough to turn up your nose at a veggie lasagna made with vegan cheese which I took extra time and expense to make, for you, because you’re vegan, then stay home. I will accommodate “vegan,” gladly. I won’t bother with picky, entitled, you-should-do-this-instead guests, no matter what their dietary restriction or preference.[/quote]

Are you aware that some vegan cheese contain cashews? Hello, tree nut allergy anaphylaxis. You do you. Let other people take care of themselves as they need to. [/quote]
