luckily "most" of my friends are this considerate.

almost everyone has two grills when the BBQ, one dedicated to non-flesh.

most folks have something veggie, be it some analog or whatever (last one i went to had grilled veggies, boca burgers, vegan hot dogs, vegan donuts...the one before that, grilled veggies, vegan chili, salad and such)

i guess it all depends on where you live as well

It would be good. I have been lucky the few times I've been to a BBQ (I'm not a fan), and people have at least at veggie sausages which they have kindly cooked before the meat sausages.

I'm also not such a bbq-fan, these kind of 'events' kind of stress me out a bit.There are all kinds of people, some are very considerate, others tend to "forget"Luckily there is always salad, bread and olives available.Bread with olives, so simple and yet so yummy. Have you tried that?What do You take with you when you go to a bbq or thing of the kind attended also by Pre-Vegetarians?Thanks,Beatriz--- On Tue, 6/24/08, jo <jo.heartwork wrote:jo <jo.heartworkRe: How to prepare for a vegetarian at a summer cookout Date: Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 6:33 PM

POSTED: 01:52 p.m. EDT, Jun 23, 2008 “It is hard for vegetarians to go to summer cookouts, especially graduation parties and such,” says Devon Musko, a lifelong vegetarian and University of Akron student. “The main dish is always meat and most side dishes have meat in them.”Think about it. The standard fare served at cookouts is hamburgers, hot dogs, pork and beans, and potato salad with bacon. It’s no wonder why vegetarians dislike cookouts.“A lot of the time I will eat prior to going,” says Musko, “I will just snack while I am there so that I don’t look rude.”But it’s not just vegetarians who are avoiding cookouts. According to a survey conducted by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Vegetarian Times magazine, 22.8 million people say they largely follow a vegetarian-inclined diet.This means that including vegetarians and vegans, about 13 percent of the U.S. adult population would appreciate a more vegetarian-friendly spread at summer cookouts. Cookout hosts must be aware of the growing vegetarian trend and offer more options. “No one keeps Boca burgers or veggie burgers around just in case, vegetarians at cookouts probably catch people off-guard more than anything,” says Akron local and cookout lover Jesse Leonard.Vegetarians won’t eat food that comes into contact with the same surfaces and utensils as meat.Chef Claudia Peck of The Mustard Seed Market and Café suggests having two separate grills, in order to cook meat on one and vegetarian-friendly courses on the other. “Something like veggie-kabobs with peppers, mushrooms, summer squash, and tomatoes would be great barbequed,” says Peck. If you don’t have two grills, Chef Peck suggests baking the veggie-friendly dishes in an oven.Musko says that having veggie kabobs would be a welcome surprise. “Nobody has ever done that at any cookout I’ve been to, but at camp they would do build-your-own skewers, and that was pretty cool.” In order to help make your summer cookout vegetarian friendly, keep these pointers in mind:• Make sure there is a wide variety of food without meat. If you make potato salad, try it without bacon and try to have at least one meatless casserole. “Rice dishes are always good,” says Peck. • Buy veggie burgers. Most veggie burgers are vegetarian, so if you are expecting a vegan guest, buy a box of vegan burgers, like Morningstar Grillers Vegan.• Don’t cross-contaminate meat burgers with veggie burgers. Use two grills, a separate heat-coil grill like a George Foreman grill, or cook vegetarian dishes inside the house.• Always have a vegetable and fruit tray.• If you have any questions about what to serve, you can always contact your local natural food market, like the Mustard Seed Market and Café at 330-666-7333.

Hello everyone,

 

We have a company BBQ coming up next week. Luckily there is one

other vegetarian in the office so I'm not alone. The office is doing

the typical hamburgers, hot dogs, beans, etc. I was planning to

contribute a cold pasta salad. I know, pasta is the

typical " vegetarian " dish, but I figured worse case, at least it

could be a good main dish for the two of us. I've been making this

side dish for a while and use whatever small pasta I have on hand,

Italian dressing and then fresh vegetables - cucumber, tomato,

zucchini, green onions, etc. Then a little salt, pepper, and celery

seed. I usually keep it vegan, but you could always add a little

feta cheese to it if you are vegetarian.

I've only been to a couple, and on both occasions I was told there

would be veggie food, so no need to bring anything - and they were

right.

Sounds tasty. Don't forget that vegetarians can eat vegan food -

they don't have to have cheese at every meal - so they don't need to

add the cheese.

I've only been to a couple, and on both occasions I was told there

would be veggie food, so no need to bring anything - and they were

right.

You could always try and get your own bbq and marinade some vegies on skewers, in some oil, vinegar,tarragon etc, and bbq them, also some fruit ones? chuck on some pittas to put the veggies in off the skewers?

Hello everyone,We have a company BBQ coming up next week. Luckily there is one other vegetarian in the office so I'm not alone. The office is doing the typical hamburgers, hot dogs, beans, etc. I was planning to contribute a cold pasta salad. I know, pasta is the typical "vegetarian" dish, but I figured worse case, at least it could be a good main dish for the two of us. I've been making this side dish for a while and use whatever small pasta I have on hand, Italian dressing and then fresh vegetables - cucumber, tomato, zucchini, green onions, etc. Then a little salt, pepper, and celery seed. I usually keep it vegan, but you could always add a little feta cheese to it if you are vegetarian.- Rochelle@gro ups.com, Beatriz <searchingalight@
