Re: Vegetarian Friend Rant

Uh, no shit. Some people, however *don't actually like them*. Difficult concept, i know.

Re: Vegetarian Friend Rant

Honestly, I find that more people are scared off by the IDEA of vegetarian (or, god forbid, vegan!) food than are turned off by the actual taste. Dedicated meat-eaters going, "Oh, I'd NEVER eat a veggie burger!"... who have never actually tried.

I agree that the person in question in this particular case should have given more warning, but seriously, if someone invites you over to eat food, AND you give them enough warning, then I do think it's rude if you don't have anything bar a few side dishes for them to eat.

In case you didn't notice, OP said they called a few hours before the bbq. That's way short notice, that's rude, and that's one person being entitled. To then come to the party and, instead of bringing your own veggie burger or whatever that you'd enjoy, to sit around pouting about not being catered to it is even *more* rude.

I've eaten veggie burgers. I think they're great. Not everyone agrees with me, and i would never insist that someone buy a box-full of them *just for me*.

I noticed. I also said, "I agree that the person in question in this particular case should have given more warning". I DID think they had acted rude.

However, a lot of commenters were basically saying, "Oh, if I have only one friend who's vegetarian, they should cater for themselves", which I disagree with - no matter how few people have that particular requirement, if you invite someone and you are aware of that requirement, you cater for them. Or YOU are rude.

Also, I've seen veggie burgers in packs of two.

True, a courteous guest would never call at the last minute (or at all) to demand that the host provide a special dish just for them. But a courteous host would do that very thing. So the guest was rude and entitled, but the host isn't off the hook either.

I think you have "courteous host" confused with "doormat."

You, on the other hand, apparently think it's good form to invite someone to a party and tell them to bring their own food. Sorry for your lots.
