To serve kosher meat just to spite them?

I think I might be being a tad silly but..

A few of DH's work collegues are coming over for sunday dinner (with their families) tomorrow. We did all the making sure about veggies and allergies and all that.
I got a text from one of them saying that they were looking forward to coming and all that and they added on the end that could we not serve any kosher meat tomorrow as they dont agree with it.
Both me and DH dont keep kosher, at all, never have.

For some reason the text really pissed me off, and I really want to go and buy different meat that is all kosher.

I'm being ridiculous aren't I?

I assume you are jewish so the implication in that statement was I'm happy to eat meat but not kosher. Well duh if you eat kosher meat why would you get non kosher into your home.? the guest should have said they'd have vegetarian or eat the kosher meat.

there are so many misconceptions in the west about kosher and halal meat tis a joke, I've heard so much nonsense but that's another topic.

Who's Jewish? me? no, I'm an atheist. My family isnt from a jewish heritage, I guess that makes me a C of E atheist Grin

It's better, but it's not easy, Beast. At least not for me!

Still as Rabbi Tarfon once said: "It is not incumbent upon you to finish the task, but neither are you free to absolve yourself from it"

Ah, we are all work in progress, home. All we can do is remain morally and intellectually honest.
