we did a fund raiser,a hog roast and beer.We had lots more customers than expected and we volunteers were rushed off our feet.A group of veggies started to complain to me that there was no veggie option.One was never advertised and they were quite rude really.While sweating to keep up was in no mood for them trying to spoil the nice atmosphere of the day.

I think thats the ultimate in selfish..........We're not all like that!

I think thats the ultimate in selfish..........We're not all like that! -we mostly grow vegetables on this forum and a good vegetarian meal is harder to make than a meat one, at least in my opinion. As you are not reliant on the meat to make the meal tasty. I do not like bought in vegy burgers or anything like that, but to make a good vegy chilli burger with own produce takes more time and skill than a meat alternative.

Sloppy, lazy and blooming incorrect as well, as I am a lady.... 2) The response to 'How are you' ....which has somehow universally become 'Good'...Arrrrgh! It is 'I'm fine thank you' or not if you're not of course.3) The phrase 'Can I get'....used instead of 'Please can I have', or 'I would like', as in 'Can I get a cup of coffee'...also usually neglecting to say please as well. I always reply 'I don't know, can you? Are you capable ?'Rant over, I am now officially a moany old woman and do not give a jot! ;D

its not a case of that, its a case of if i go to the trouble to accomadate a vegatarians feeding habits , then when they feed me I expect them to accomadate mine, and I eat meat, thank you very much. I showed them courtesy by making an effort, i expect them to reciprocate and make a similar effort for me. Its the definition of a good host. Fobbing me off with a vegetarian meal is unacceptable.
I don't feel that I have the right to expect someone to do something they're uncomfortable with. It's quite likely that as a flesh avoider, you don't like handling flesh. I can't imagine being such a rude guest to expect someone to do something they're not comfortable with just to give me something for which I have no real dietary need.

LY - any chance of you getting yourself on Come Dine With Me? I'd enjoy watching that one...
Something that makes me rant is carnivores that assume all vegetarians are the same :)I cook meat for my husband and guest but do not eat meat myself.I bring my own option to places where there is unlikely to be a veg option. Basic manners if its a charity event

You are correct, no one needs to be a vegetarian. No one needs to be an omnivore...its about choice. I respect others choices and friends respect mine.

I respect others choices and friends respect mine. erm, actually a friend of mine is meat-intolerant, it gives him all sorts of stomach problems when he eats meat. he does eat dairy products and fish, though.
However, bear in mind what made us smarter than the rest of the lifeforms here was cooking and eating meat, and we've had at least 12 million years as primates to adapt to it. The other point here is that modern vegetables are nothing like the sort of vegetables that were kicking around 3+ milliion years ago. Todays vegatables have been highly selectively cultivated to massively increase there nutritional value. If you tried being vegetarian 12 milliion years ago, you'd have a very short, sickly life, but no problem getting a job as a size zero model................
