[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The boss's wife asked if pork was okay. If it's not okay, the OP should explain that she's vegetarian and [b]offer accommodation ("Can I bring a side dish?") of some kind.[/b][/quote] I'm a bit baffled by this. It's 2013. Surely everybody who can cook knows at least one thing to make for dinner that doesn't have meat or fish in it?[/quote] I posted that. I agree, but offering to bring something seems like it would be polite if you're asking for special accommodation. I have always been vegetarian and have done this many times. Conversation usually goes like this - "So happy you're coming for dinner. Is a pork tenderloin okay?" "We're really excited to. We actually don't eat meat. I'd be happy to bring a hearty side dish to go with the pork if you'd still like to make it." "Oh, I didn't know! How about a [insert vegetarian main dish] instead? I've been wanting to try it." "Sounds great. Can we bring a dessert?" [/quote]
