“We invite out large clan over for Thanksgiving dinner, and try to have some options for the few weirdo vegans - or they can bring a fake meat dish if they want.”
We had a couple of vegetarians, one of whom keeps Kosher and a bunch of what I call “normal” eaters for Thanksgiving. The vegetarians brought something called a field roast. I sampled it and it seemed a bit like meat loaf. There were a few slices left which I took home for lunch later in the week. They also had onions stuffed with some sort of grains and seasonings that were quite tasty.
Right - some meatless dishes can be good - my wife just made lentil soup with carrots, onions and mushrooms - so good.
But I’m very glad to be an omnivore - I don’t ever have to worry about what’s on the menu - I’ll eat just about anything. Of course if it’s too salty, too sweet, too slimy, too bland, etc.. I don’t like it - but there are no categories of food that I avoid.
