[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, there's catering and then there's catering to someone's every need. Friend once invited someone to dinner and was told yes. But the answer to "Is there anything we shouldn't serve?" was "[b]We're vegan, and we try to stay away from wheat.[/b]" At some point, it makes more sense to say, "We follow a pretty strict diet; why don't we just meet at [restaurant]?"

But ovolacto vegetarians are easy to accommodate. As a host, I'd want to know before I dropped $$ and went to the trouble of cooking a particular main course that my guests couldn't eat it. [/quote]

I'm a vegetarian of almost 30 years and I have to agree, at some point you become uninvited! But I've never had trouble informing people who have asked about my dietary restrictions. (I don't inform them ahead of time if it's a large dinner party, but I will if it's a small get together of just me and my husband, for example. It's rude not to let them know because they'll just waste time and money preparing your meal that you won't eat.  If it's a large gathering, I just always carry a protein bar in my purse if I'm going somewhere where it's a crapshoot if I'm going to eat or not.
But in this case, the boss was kind enough to ask, and it's your responsibility to her as a host to answer it. It's not a big deal. [/quote]
