There is nothing worse than when a vegetarian, or worse still a vegan with holier-than-thou morals turns up to your BBQ. What on earth do you do to feed them? Do you source out some cardboard burgers or point them in the general direction of the salad bowl? What do you cook for the vegetarians who turn up to your BBQ?
I know they think they’re being good and pure, not harming animals and being ultra civilized, but it’s just downright inconvenient for the rest of us who have to cater for them and put up with their snide comments; wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t for the attitude. Us meat eaters normally tend to hang out with fellow carnivores, but somehow or other when it comes to a social gathering you’ll occasionally get a veggie with chip on their shoulder. A chip that must not have been cooked in animal fat I hasten to add!
They’ll try to convert the meat eating hordes to their way of thinking. Eating meat is bad. It’s not healthy and think about the cruelty and suffering to the animal. What’s the matter with them? Have they looked at their teeth lately? Those pointy ones might be a bit of a clue, because I don’t think the thousands of years of evolution were for nothing!
You can feast on the cheese roles and salad...
To heck with them I say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. If you don’t like sausages I'm not going to force you to eat them, you can feast on the cheese roles and salad for all I care. You don’t have to eat meat, but if I want to partake of dead flesh then I will and what’s more I will enjoy it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not setting out to deliberately offend vegetarians. After all, one man’s meat is another man’s poison or so they say. It’s the ones that don’t respect my opinion and criticise the fact that I eat meat that I have a problem with.

With their 'holier than thou' posturing and their sickly looking, privately educated foul offspring, their radical ideas on recycling and bicycle riding - they all have posh cars of course, but choose to parade themselves and their brood kitted out in cycling gear, usually riding in the middle of the sidewalk with daft hats on.
Precious, whining tossers
Not eating meat and veg is against your very genetic make up and claiming otherwise to justify your strange and non human behaviours is kind of weird.
However what you chose to eat is your affair. It only becomes mine when you try to force your opinions on me.
Therefore eat what you will but don’t force your views on me.
Try a bacon sandwich if you are looking for a cure.
Hmmm!
Being a vegan I don't get invited to too many bbq's (wonder why...lol..) but have in the past gone to a BBQ where the host was great with the vege choices and it was not too much trouble at all.
One simple solution: If vege/vegans are a pain at BBQs, then just don't invite them, or better still, why not just buy one of those disposable BBQ's so that all their food can be cooked separately? It would also show you have some measure of intelligence, thought and accommodating to other dietary choices. The real problem here is lack of imagination and care of their guests, why is it not looked upon as a 'challenge to their creative cooking skills'?
The sooner people wake up and realise that the meat eater is the 'odd one out' and not the vegetarian/vegan. Oh, and by the way, not all of us go around preaching and 'tutting', isn't that the job of the meat eaters, to continuing make insinuating remarks about food choices other than theirs? These are classics...."go on, bet you really want a bit of this steak...." "I hear that bacon is the one thing vegetarians still crave....bet you would love a luvly bacon sarnie right now...." "Go on, eat the meat, it won't kill you...." "why do you have to SO awkward, why can't you just be like everyone else..." and THE CLASSIC OF ALL TIME...."But...where DO you get your protein from?"..............LOL!
just remember to stay really positive but i do have to say as a regular barbecue cooker i know how annoying it is to have to prepare more food for a gathering when youve already got enough on your plate.
once i had a bbq and my girlfriend invited one of her friends who is a veggie by choice. She had only been one for about 5 months and she started,preaching to my guests why it was a bad idea to eat meat and why they were all effectivley murdurers.
hasnt been invited back since
ps. Dana i hope you get better soon xxx
