[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you could serve them something like this? https://fieldroast.com/product/celebration-roast/

I’ve heard good reviews from vegan friends.[/quote]

OP, this is a good suggestion, but only if you know they eat and enjoy plant-based alternatives like that. My SIL bemoans that vegan burgers and the like are processed and that they are served to vegans all the time at social events. (Which…I have my opinions on that level of entitlement, I’m just saying.)[/quote]

What do you mean by 'level of entitlement'? Junk food is junk food. Those vegan meats are junk. How is not wanting to eat junk 'entitled'?[/quote]

Oh I agree that processed foods are gross, which is why I eat and serve simply prepared meats, fishes, butter, cheese, etc. But here’s what: if you are vegan and your host goes out of his or her way to accommodate you, you get what you get, and too bad for you if you don’t prefer vegan “burgers.” If you’re so concerned and precious, bring your own vegan food. NO ONE gets to dictate what a host serves, and NO ONE gets to complain about what a host serves. Decline invitations if you are that precious and picky.[/quote]

So your SIL is entitled because she complains to you that veg burgers are junk? She should have learned by now that you are not her friend. How about if you stop serving her burgers she has made clear she doesn't want to eat -- even though you are the host and she is the guest? What a power trip.[/quote]
