Uh, not giving people e.coli is mostly about sanitation and basic food prep hygiene, which you should know regardless of whether or not you eat meat. If you're not washing your hands properly when you make vegetarian food, you also run the risk of making your guests sick. As for actually cooking meat, that is also not rocket science, even if you don't eat it.

AYRT--well, yeah, I wash my hands and cutting board and stuff. But even though cooking isn't rocket science (unless maybe you're preparing fugu or something else inherently dangerous in itself) I'm still gonna rely on pre-cooked meat to feed any carnivore friends or acquaintances, because there is a learning curve to cooking that, for me at least, involves tasting as I go and a lot of trial and error.

I mentioned that I started cooking at 11--well, I was no prodigy. My parents just shrugged and said if I wanted to be vegetarian I'd be cooking my own meals. I ate a lot of my own burnt, soggy, over-salted, bland, mushy, and/or hellishly spicy mistakes the first couple of years and I still fuck up 20 years on, although thankfully not nearly as often. I ruined breads, salads (no, 11-year-old me you can't dress your baby lettuce the day before), soups, pastries, quiche--I guarantee I would fuck up cooking meat the first couple times I tried it.

I won't cook it for myself and I'm not gonna serve my inevitable failure (because if I can't taste it I don't know what I've done wrong) to guests. I've also never had an obligate carnivore to dinner unless various cats count; I've never had anyone freak out because there was no meat on the table. Big gatherings like 4th of July and Thanksgiving, if I'm hosting I'll make all the sides and someone who knows what the fuck they're doing roasts the turkey or makes the burgers. I mean, I make pies, stuffing, cranberry sauce, all the veggie sides, or buy the buns, make the potato salad, caramelize onions--I really don't care if someone else eats meat. I just have no fucking clue how to cook it and unless I go back to eating it at some point I'm unlikely to learn.
