Dining with vegetarians (when not one)

Has anyone ever had this experience with people who are religious/strict vegetarians.

I have many vegetarian friends with who I can order my own meat/fishes dishes and it doesn't bother them.

Being an Indian and coming from a Hindu background, there's a certain side of the family that's strict vegetarian. So much so that when we're with them we do not order eat. And if they come to visit we do not have meat as well.

I'm personally okay with it and can happily enjoy vegetarian food. It's just I'd like the choice.

I wouldn't go to a vegetarian household and eat meat though.

Does anyone else have this with friends/family who are vegetarian?

I’ve been vegetarian for more than 30 years, and I’ve no objection to eating alongside meat eaters. Friends do have strict Jain relatives and if we’re eating together I abide by their food rules (no alliums, potatoes etc).
