(3,702 posts)I am sure the mother was mortified to find out afterwards that you were a vegetarian and her daughter hadn't told her.
I know I would be pissed and embarrassed to find out someone I had over for dinner had a special diet, that it was known and not conveyed to me.
Vegetarian cooking is not that freaking difficult. My mom has been a vegetarian for 46 yrs - I was raised a vegetarian as a kid but occasionally eat meat as I grew up and as an adult. I married a meat and potatoes man - like meat for every fricking meal. I am trying to get us to go all vegetarian all the time...not hard for me but he needs some prodding. So I work very hard to make vegetarian meals that include all his favorite veggies and he doesn't miss the meat.
Just made him a fantastic vegetarian lasagna soup - lots of zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, pasta and a dollop of ricotta cheese. I am a very picky eater - can't stand most vegetables but he loves them.
