Question RE: Vegetarian Meals at Weddings etc...

[xjmrufinix]

As I've mentioned here before, I work in the banquet kitchen of a country club. We don't specialize in vegetarian food at all, but we will often have banquets, particularly weddings, when we have an order of 4-5 vegetarian/vegan meals in addition to the regular orders of prime rib and chicken and all that

The last wedding I went to, the only options for my fiance and I were mashed potatoes and green beans. Sadly as we began to eat them, we found out that both had meat broth in them, and we both got sick to our stomachs promptly after.

One good thing would be to get a subscription to Vegetarian Times and find any good meals that you see, then work them into your base of recipes to use at banquets. They usually have fairly simple recipes that look and taste great.

Ha, yeah. I'm a vegetarian and the last wedding I went to they tried to feed me green beans with bacon cooked in with them and caesar salad. I'm also surprised at how many people assume I eat fish. So weird.

Well, there are a lot of people who call themselves vegetarians but will eat fish openly.

My dad always told me, "If you're going to be a vegetarian you'd better not eat anything with a face, or else you're not a vegetarian."

I have both vegetarian & meatatarian friends that claim that "fish is just a fast vegetable"...

[misledyouth00]

a 'fast vegetable'?

meaning that it's a MOVING vegetable?

[misskitty_79]

Many people do not realize that caesar salad dressing is traditionally made with anchovies.

[misskitty_79]

Oh, yeah.
That.
