veg*n party etiquette

[startracer]

Community was new this week! Yay! It's been about three years since the last new episode. (For those of you that don't know or care, but care enough to learn vaguely what I'm talking about, Community is a new-this-year comedy on NBC that centers on a Spanish study group at a community college. The show is pretty adept at taking worn-out comedy

We've always delt with "picky" eaters in my family, and you're right that making considerations for vegitarians and whatnot isn't much different. If a host didn't know in advance that a person had eating restrictions, then well darn. But if they do, making sure they provide at least one filling dish that said person can eat would be the polite thing to do. Or three side dishes that said person can eat. I also don't think it is impolite for a vegitarian going to a dinner to ask what is being served and then offer to bring a dish that they know they can eat and share. For example, I don't eat pork so if we're having a ham dinner or something my grandma usually tells me ahead of time. And then I either tell her that I'll find for myself on whatever side dishes are available or I bring a second main course to share. I try not to make it a big deal or an inconvenience for grams. There's my four cents.
