So Huganit doesn't bother to 'jump through hoops' when he/she has dinner guests. Most of us try a little harder to cook well and use nice ingredients. I think I may have seen Hangonit on That C4 Dinner Party program was he the one with the rusty tins and frozen food?

Ain't serving fish or ain't serving them fish? It's an important subtlety.


Having grown up suffering vegetarian xmas imposed on the meat eaters (I was seventeen before I was finally able to substitute nut roast for some good old fashioned goose), I'll happily prepare a veggie some alternative, but never let them dictate what everyone else can eat.

I was only having a bit of fun :)


Although somewhere in this there is a point about there being a big difference between good manners to cater for your guest, and vegetarians having a sense of entitlement that you must cater to their whims.


As for the point about looking for the slightest infraction, I was actually remembering when I had guests who refused to eat food cooked in pots that had once had meat in them.


When referring to combing through the ingredient list, I was recalling guests who would go through the fine print on condiments to find ingredients that may possibly at some extreme stage removed may have been sniffed by a chicken.

No harm, no foul - I know Hughie would never suggest that I'm in any way spineless, out of the highest respect in which he holds me (or the fear of my kicking his poncey ass all over Singapore).


To be fair, these veggies have requested nothing of the kind, and they're certainly not evangelical. As far as I understand. First meeting you see - just trying to be nice. And while being nice, want to make something that I might actually want to eat!

Thats crazy - do they object to water out of the public water supply since it might have been recycled after boiling a lobster !

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
