[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] When I am entertaining, bulk of the food I cook is vegetarian and only one or two dishes are non-veg.  The meat eaters can eat everything, and vegetarians don't eat that one or two items.  However, even if a person who eats vegan, or gluten free, or dairy free, or nut free food comes to our dinners, they will find something that they can eat and they will not go home without being stuffed to the gills with good food.  My DH likes a table with lots of dishes and I always have enough in the freezer to make something in 15 minutes or less.  Menu of last weekend dinner for 35 people.

Spinach chaat (veg/vegan)
Mint Paneer-capsicum seekh (veg)
Dhokla (veg/vegan)
Lamb kebab

Quinoa veg pilaf (veg/vegan)
Tandoori salmon 
Mixed lentils (aka dal banjaara) (veg/vegan)
Potato curry (aka dum aloo) (veg/vegan)
Malai kofta (veg)
Chicken jhalfrezi 
Chickpea flour dumpling curry (aka besan gatta) (veg/vegan)
Mixed flour roti (veg/vegan)

Cut fruits (veg/vegan)
Rasmalai (veg)

PP, with respect, the people who are offended when a dinner guest discloses their vegan diet in any way are not going to eat this delicious cooking. They barely consider things food if it’s not a meat/starch/veg combination. The Obnoxious Vegans they’re talking about are the ones who are vegan in a showy culturally performative way. They are not talking about people whose ethnic culinary heritage has a lot of vegan options. They’re talking about the white yoga teacher mom at preschool. [/quote]

I am ok if a White yoga teacher mom comes to eat at my house. I am ok if a meat and potato eating person comes to eat at my house. I will make something which they like. No problem.

The thing is that when you have guests you must cater to their dietary needs within reason. If a vegan is coming to your house for thanksgiving, there are many sides that they can have that can also be enjoyed by others. Or, you order a vegan meal for them. There is really no need to fret about it. None of us are so poor that we cannot afford a meal for a vegan guest, right?[/quote]
