[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a vegetarian, I don't eat any meat chicken or fish.  I am not in your face about it.  I am invited to a luncheon (Baby Shower) at a country club in a few weeks.  How do I politely mention that I'm a vegetarian to the hostess?  Or do I wait and mention it to the wait staff?  I can always find things to eat at a restaurant.  I should mention, however, that this event is in the south where they tend to understand less about why people don't eat meat :)[/quote]

I assume it's a sit down lunch - mention it to the wait staff when you get there. Ask if there's a vegetarian option or if they could just do a plate of vegetable sides with no meat on the plate. It's a country club. They HAVE run into this issue before and won't look at you like you have 3 heads. And it's also fine to ask for vegetarian sides on a separate plate -- I don't think meat eaters realize that most vegetarians (esp the ones who have never eaten meat - as opposed the ones who used to eat it but stopped) are NOT ok eating off a plate that has meat on it.[/quote]
