[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You lack imagination. Get on Instagram and see how people veganize a lot of dishes. [/quote]

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

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

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

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

NP. Do you grasp that we are specifically talking about LAST MINUTE guests? If it’s two days before Christmas and my shopping is done, you’ll be welcome and I’ll make any easy swaps I can. But you don’t get a whole different menu and I’m not fussing with 18 different pots or cutting boards. Here’s the menu, feel free to bring whatever. Next time give me the courtesy of lead time to let me know you are coming over for a meal.[/quote]
