[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is really strange about conversations like this is that people are assuming a lot of things about guests with food restrictions allergies or choices. This host is asking for suggestions on how to modify a menu with minimal change. Which is an awesome thing to do. Making up the stories about folks rejecting chili or fruit pie or needing to eat salad shut up and be happy are  hyper over the top.

I take it you’ve missed the posts where people have said “no no don’t serve tofurkey” and “put almonds in your green beans” (great for OP’s nut allergy kids) and…wait for it…don’t make mushrooms. Well-intended suggestions to add a tofurkey-type product are then met with “we don’t like processed fake meat,” etc., etc. And “no your plan to make extra vegan pie filling isn’t enough, make an extra vegan pie,” etc. What OP is already offering to do is more than enough. And then the conflicting comments come in from people who apparently mistake other people’s homes for restaurants. [/quote]

Hello there. The vegans are saying they don't like tofurkey and they do like green beans. Precisely the input op asked for. Op is a good person who seems to be able to peruse a variety of info and make a decision. This is the point. You wish for every answer to be "don't do anything extra for the vegans." And for op to only see your advice. That's not how it works. [/quote]

It’s amazing that, if apparently all vegetarians and vegans hate fake meat products so very much, they…continue to exist.[/quote]

Miracle Whip also exists. As does velveeta and Vienna sausages.

What’s your point? [/quote]

Oh well apparently all vegans and vegetarians hate fake meat products, according to this very thread, so OP shouldn’t make any. It’s just so weird because usually if there’s zero demand and no one wants a product and no one buys a product, it ceases to exist!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

This is going to make your head explode: I love veggie burgers but I don't like fake turkey.

This is really really going to make you lose your mind: some vegans dislike all of the fake meat products.

Hope you're ok. [/quote]

And some like them and have suggested OP get them.[/quote]

You’re missing the point while trying to prove something. The op never asked about adding fake meat to their menu. Ok, fake meats exist. Some people like them. Some people do not. Before investing in them it’s not a bad idea to ask your guest which column they are in.
