[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmmm. I told my SIL who was a vegetarian back then, when she came to visit my mom and grandma, who made her dishes but with broth and such. She didn't care at all. For example separate dish made with rice filing only, but cooked with meat, she said it was fine. Broths in mashed potatoes, she was fine. She was fine with it all. She is generally a nice person who doesn't' make a fuss. For all I know, you would be creating WWII or this is how some vegetarians are.[/quote]

We had a vegetarian neighbor who didn’t mind when her veggie burgers were put on the grill after the regular burgers because then they had more flavor. It sounds like OP’s SIL is way less laid back than either your friend or my neighbor, especially if she’s so controlling with her husband. [/quote]

It's not about "being laid back." There are degrees to vegetarianism as there are for any other sort of dietary restriction. I'm a vegetarian for health and fitness reasons so I don't care if my food has been cooked animal fat or broth. But I do know many ethical and religious vegetarians who do not consume any products that would require an animal being slaughtered. They wouldn't eat something had been cooked with animal fat or broth. That doesn't make them any more "fussier" than me or "not nice" people because they are stricter in their vegetarianism.

SIL should able to make that choice for herself. Maybe she will care, she won't. But we don't know because MIL has taken that choice from her.
