Entertaining non-vegetarian guests

[Guest guest]

If I'm ever invited to the White House, I want to make sure my tax

dollars are going to get me a unique vegetarian meal. Sure as heck

aint gonna make do with what is at the table.

i guess that is the main difference with being a

guest at the White House [a publicly owned institution

supported by our tax money] and being a guest in a

privately owned home. But the subject does raise an

interesting question, and i think it would be a good

one for this week's group question, too.

 

If i were invited to the White House for dinner, i would

call ahead and ask if there would be a vegetarian option,

but if there wasn't one, i would go anyway and just make

do... i think the experience of going would be worthy of one

night's empty stomach.

To take my helm in hand,

Till I get up to the tall top-mast,

To see if I can spy land?

I think what I would do is when I RSVP I would mention that I am a

vegetarian and hope for the best. If all they had was a salad and veggies then

I

would make do.

 

However, when I go to a persons house for dinner I always offer to bring

something and I bring enough for everyone to have if they want.
