We are a vegan house, meat eater friends over this evening. WIBU to cook a vegan menu?

[AddictedtoAIBU]

Hi all, this is my first AIBU but I'm having a panic.
Non vegan mates over this eve, they always make every effort to accommodate us when we go there but this is their first visit to ours since we are vegan.
Shall I suck it up and cook a corpse or stick with a vegan menu? Would you be offended to eat vegan at a friends as a meat eater?
Thanks in advance if you reply. Could do with a few views...

Blackteadrinker I said I'd pick at things, and I don't eat cold rice. You may be able to digest a lot of veg at once...I can't, and when it was the combination above, an uncomfortable night and following day ensued. That's why I don't eat lentils, too many chick peas, any okra at all, and aubergine only with care. It might not give you the shits, but it does me.

I did not say that I was worried about food poisoning, but about the known effects of too many pulses and veg at once on my digestive system. You may like spending a lot of time on the loo after a totally non meat and dairy meal. I don't.

Which infers that I’ve just eaten chicken corpse stir fry

Well yeah. Chicken carcass stir fry if you want to be meticulously correct but you have pretty much just eaten a corpse. What do you think meat is?!

Even as a meat eater, I do enjoy vegan food!

However don't be that person with 'cooking corpses', I'm sure they respect their choice for being vegan!

Ihavebrillohair Some people find some things hard on their system. For me, it's a lot of chilli, certain pulses, some brassicas, okra, aubergine, too much spinach. I know to avoid them.

@scaryteacher so it's not vegan food that makes you and your DH unwell but too much of some specific foods. If your friends are good friends perhaps you could mention that those foods cause you both gastric distress. I'm sure they'd avoid them and cook you something you'd enjoy and can eat.

@JacquesHammer

Errr, no. Look up the definition of corpse. It refers to a dead human more than animal.

Remind me to start a thread about lettuces screaming in pain when they are ripped apart, plunged into ice cold water and then spun in a spinning drainer until they are sick.

People's personal food choices are their own, they should not be foisted onto others, and insulting people for what they eat, is wrong.

@FaveNumberIs2 clearly it can also apply to animals, and is often used to do so. Your point about lettuces is absurd and in no way similar. You're reading judgement into the use of the word corpse where none exists.

Since when did lettuces have the capacity to feel pain?
Of course we can judge people over their food choices, what would you say to Hannibal Lecter, “your house your rules hun”?

Favenumber - screaming lettuces? What are you on about? I eat meat and am not in the least insulted. Speak for yourself. Op is correct.

Laughing so hard at the lettuces screaming and have the ability to be sick when they don't have a stomach

And I'm a meat eater

Corpse is wrong anyway unless you're doing a whole suckling pig on a stick, since a corpse is a body in its entirety. So unless you have entire chickens in your stir fry, its not either a corpse or a carcass in there.

Ok thanks for clearing that up curry

You're welcome. Words matter.

Please don't book a corpse unless they've expressed an interest in cannibalism.

I eat meat. I'm under no illusion as to what it is. I've just eaten dead pig. I think a LOT of people need to get a grip.

Curry I don't think words do matter in this case as the meaning is evident. Pedantry just dilutes the point.

I’m wondering at what point in that process, a lettuce actually dies, Lethal .

I eat anything and everything but would love to have a vegan meal cooked for me

Curry I don't think words do matter in this case as the meaning is evident. Pedantry just dilutes the point

In this case the meaning is a sneery "I'm a vegan and so much more moral etc than you" so I think pedantry is the perfect answer to such bollocks.

OP are you going to let us know what you cooked?

I’m the same scary, my digestive system can’t cope with large amounts of lentils, vegetables or fruit.

Obviously some posters don’t believe it if it doesn’t happen to them!

Hi all,
Sorry I haven't been back to update on the plant based delights I turned out.
It was, in all honesty, not great. I went with Thai curry (as I spent too long looking at replies to carry off anything more spectacular) I think I also lost my confidence temporarily to be truthful. It was fine, just not great.
I see the 'c' word is still the topic of conversation. I don't want to be inflammatory (anymore than I have been!) but I really can't agree that the meat industry in any way resembles the salad industry....🙄 As it is no lettuces, nor animals, were harmed during the making of my mediocre dinner 😁

Can I also just add that at no point did I insult anyone based on what they eat despite a few posters mentioning it.
I used a word that people didn't like but I did not aim it at the people eating it. I expressed my feelings on what it was and how I felt about having it in my kitchen.

I have IBS badly, lots of things are hard on my system, but they are foods, not vegan foods.

IHaveBrilloHair have you tried low fodmap? It really helped my friend with severe IBS. Garlic, onion, apples and dairy seemed to be the worse offenders in her case
