I'm all sorted for next week, pressies bought/made and wrapped. Meat and stuffing in freezer. Getting veg and puddings and booze on Tuesday.
Feeding 10 (four if us, 6 guests) for Christmas dinner, no problem, love a full table :)
Last minute invitation given to our friend, who will be rhe only veggie at the table.
I honestky cant be arsed to prepare a special veggie dish for the main course.
Starters are veggi - Cashew and swee tpotato pate and Pumpkin and honey soup (ill make this without chicken stock)
Loads of veg, roasties, parsnips, sprouts (now not with bacon) carrots, peas and beans, mashed carrot and swead and potato and leek gratin (sp?).
Ill make some sausage free stuffing & gravy. All three puddings are meat free :)
Veggies - would you be happy with this as a christmas dinner? Or would you expect a meat replacement... e.g. nut roast?
Not in the uk, so no easy couldren/LMc to chuck in the oven... Id have to make from scratch.
AIBU to not bother, I think the above is more than enough?

Because soup the others are all options that are being made anyway and there are lots to choose from. It would be awkward if OP makes a special meal for the guest who then doesn't like it!

Ynbu, as ex veggie I hated nut roast and would just have roast dinner minus meat.

I'm veggie and it sounds lovely but I would be very disappointed if there was no veggie gravy, that would ruin it all for me! Cheese sauce nice but not as a gravy substitute.
