(22,271 posts)First of all it is completely unacceptable to criticize what a host/hostess serves you at a meal. I'm not a vegetarian and I've had to choke down my share of vegetarian/vegan food, of cooked-to-death veggies and, goddess forbid, LIVER at dinner functions and I smiled, ate it, and thanked the hostess for the wonderful meal. It's what you do when you are a GUEST at someone's table.
Secondly, I've entertained and have been told that so-and-so is a vegetarian/vegan. That means my already-planned-menu now has to have additional items to fit the requirements of ONE guest. Fine, I'll do that, but don't bitch about what I feed you because it was a big pain in the ass to have to plan for ONE guest in the first place.
