[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do vegans host and offer meat dishes when their guests eat meat and dairy? Or do you only serve vegan dishes?[/quote]

Good question! I'm a longtime vegetarian (not vegan) and will sometimes serve meat depending on the event. Like if we have a cookout we will have some chicken and fish to grill but also veggie burgers and veggie kabobs. Or on Thanksgiving I will make all the sides vegetarian or vegan but then I'll get a turkey and gravy at Whole Foods that just has to be put in the oven for a few hours. My husband and kids eat meat so he will often cook some up and I make the rest of the meal.

I think it's polite to accommodate food preferences- I want people to be comfortable and enjoy their meal. But I also don't have people with strict requirements that then "cheat" in my family or close friends- that would be really annoying. I haven't had meat, fish, or poultry for decades and haven't ever wanted to "cheat". Close family/friends know I don't eat meat and I either bring something or they make sure there's something for me when we eat together- if you're eating healthy food it's usual to have vegetarian items. For events where I don't know the hosts well I usually eat before and then just have what I can. If someone asks I just mention I'm vegetarian.
