What is the source for your informed opinion?

I'd bring whatever I liked but then I wouldn't eat at a vegetarian house because they are filthy housekeepers,

I would guess that this host is not as demanding and rigid as you are and would not be sending meat contributions back to the car like the obnoxious host above.


OP here. As PP mentioned, and it seems I didn't make very clear, the host's spouse is steak & hamburger guy. I've decided to do both options, kimchi dumplings and shrimp springrolls.

Merry christmas

There is no courteous option except to bring something the hosts can eat, except if the restrictive host absolutely insists that you bring a different dish.

This is rider and more ridic thAn a carnivore bringing the meat to your house. I am a vegan for ethical reasons but I would never be this much of an ass.


My house, my rules. Suck it up bitch.


No need to be rude, PP. The food forum is one of the most helpful and polite places on DCUM and we'd like to keep it that way.

To the topic at hand, OP, I'd bring a vegetarian dish if I were you. It's respectful to your host.

You should check with the host. But if you don't want to or can't, bring a vegetarian dish.

Host is vegetarian = bring vegetarian dish. Pretty simple. Unless host specifies otherwise. When in doubt, host preference rules.

Just like if you're Paleo, you don't need to make modern human food for your guests. If they choose to come they know what they're getting into.
