[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t tell them straight out but play dumb about it. For example, when MIL is setting out all the dishes for the Thanksgiving spread and she says “This is vegetarian.” You can speak up and say, “Oh no, remember we made the stuffing with chicken broth so this ones not vegetarian.” Play dumb, pretend it’s an honest mistake and move it along. Your SIL will still know what dishes aren’t vegetarian and you don’t openly antagonize MIL. On a side note: I find it hard to believe that your SIL couldn’t taste the meat fat in the dishes. One time, a relative made vegetable soup with chicken broth and I almost gagged when I took a bite. The taste of beef or chicken broth is really distinctive. Bacon even more so. I would know right away. [/quote]
