[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t need a main if I can eat most of the sides, but there’s often chicken broth in the stuffing or bacon on the Brussels sprouts etc, and I’m not going to tell anyone how to cook their food. I’ll ask in advance and bring something if I need to. [/quote]

Seriously? You can’t ignore the minuscule amount of animal origin in the broth and just eat around the bacon? [/quote]

A different PP here. Things cooked with bacon smell like bacon and sometimes taste like bacon. If you do not eat pork, that taste and smell can be pretty distressing on your own plate. If I taste something made with chicken broth, I can get a few bites down but then I start thinking about the live chickens, how chickens are raised and slaughtered, etc., and I can’t eat any more of it. If it doesn’t taste strongly of chicken, I can eat it but feel unhappy and unsettled knowing what was in it. As a host, I don’t want my guests to have that feeling.

Could YOU eat something you find repulsive? Maybe monkey brains or fish eyeballs? Some can, some can’t. In this day and age, it’s not hard to make vegetarian food. Truly. [/quote]

Why would you take a few bites of something with chicken broth if you are a vegetarian?  I ask and if they cannot clearly tell me I don't eat it.[/quote]
