[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a vegetarian:

Apps: hummus and crackers/veg is enough. Shot glasses of vegan vichyssoise seems too minimal for Thanksgiving, but vegan soup would be awesome as a side dish for the main dinner (offered in a bowl, not a shot glass)

Sides:
I love that you'll set aside vegan mashed potatoes. Very thoughtful. 
Yes to roasted vegetables. 
No mushrooms. Not all vegans like them. 
How do you make your dressing/stuffing? If it's box mix, it's not vegan. 
No field roast. Sometimes it's just weird. 
Add: Salad with lots of ingredients (and store bought vegan dressing), 
Fresh sauteed green beans with almonds.

OP says she regularly makes Burgundy mushrooms, and you’re freaking telling her not to make them because “some vegans don’t like them”?! One doesn’t have to be vegetarian or vegan to like mushrooms and to want them as a side, especially if it’s a recipe that OP routinely makes as tradition. Do you hear yourself? It’s not all about the vegan guests! My goodness, the entitlement strikes again. And you obviously also don’t speak for all vegans. [/quote]

+1 good grief. And now you want her to add green beans with almonds “for the vegans” when her child has a nut allergy??[/quote]

Are you sock puppeting or are there actually multiple people who think offering advice to someone who asked for it is "entitlement?" [/quote]

There’s at least two of us. I for one am just shaking my head that you are tearing down perfectly nice starter menu and offering ridiculous non-starter “suggestions.”[/quote]

Oh hmmm maybe it's because op asked for input. [/quote]
