the-e-dealer Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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?

El Pibe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 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.

Brendan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 True, no need to be rude to fish because of your guests views. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20965-vegetarian-gravy/page/2/#findComment-508198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 No, I meant I'd serve fish else I'm being speciesist! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20965-vegetarian-gravy/page/2/#findComment-508199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You know back in my day you could say "them fish..." without being accused of speciesism.

Huguenot Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 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.

RosieH Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 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!
