If you are a vegetarian do you cook a meat dish when you have non vegetarian over for dinner?

Similar questions: vegetarian cook meat dish dinner.

Usually When I have people over for dinner I usually cook a vegetarian and a carnivore version of the same dish. For example, when I had a chili party, I cooked one crockpot of meatless chili and another of chili with beef. I printed out very pretty labels saying which was which.It was funny how many of my carnivorous friends preferred the vegetarian chili!

Yes and No! :-P If we have company, I make vegetarian but I tell people what I am gonna make a head of time (usually has to be gluten free too for the company). I figure the adults we have over are very used to vegetarian cooking, if not they can get used to it.

We have a young teen who isn't a vegetarian. At first I did not make him a meat dish cuz it was too much to expect of me... I am a new vegetarian/pescatarian but I still like the taste of meat/poultry. The smell of the cooking meat made me sooo hungry - still does.

I trust myself now so I will do basic meat cooking for him. I cooked meatballs for him today - butcher sells meatball/meatloaf "meat". Why was I at the butcher in the first place, you ask?

I was getting beef fat to give to the birds. Anyway, he loves to cook so he is willing most of the time to cook his own meat. He is starting to enjoy the smell of my vegetarian cooking but still refused to eat beans or fish... He is a work in progress..

Absolutly not, and here is why.... I don't begrudge non-vegetarians their meat, although the smell is a little nauseating to me. I don't try to ever convert them or preach to them. But I have never really known how to cook meat, and since I don't intend to ever cook it for myself I can't imagine that I could possibly do a very good job!

I also believe that as the cook, you really have to be able to taste what you are cooking, and I won't do that if it were meat. I think that I would do a real disservice to the meat eater who had to eat something I cooked since I have no clue what I am doing in that arena. I can cook some really great tasting vegetarian fare that would make any non-vegetarian not even miss the meat.

After all a meat eater can eat vegetarian but not vice versa. If the food is good, why does it matter if there is no meat in it, right? Sources: my kitchen .

My wife is a vegetarian, so I always cook vejy at home. If we have a non-vej coming, I take that as a challenge. Eggplant parmesan never fails to satisfy those used to eating meat, but I try to branch out..

A little of both. One of my friends really enjoys eating our kind of food, so I fix the same for her and her daughter as for us. For holiday open houses and that sort, I fix a variety, veg and otherwise.

I prefer someone else do the heavy meat lifting if possible, but I have no prohibition on it in the house. When my girl comes to visit, she always looks for baked chicken and risotto, so I fix that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
