I do it all the time, it's really not hard. Make a filling vegan dish that's also gluten-free and most of the time that will cover everyone. Make the meat an optional garnish for that dish rather than the main feature. If you have a guest with an allium allergy you'll need a third thing. Sorbet, granita, or just fresh fruit for dessert will hit just about everyone.
There are entire books about this if you need ideas but the core exercise is not difficult if you already know how to cook.
- BenFranklin100 2y agoSounds revolting, to be honest.
- NewJazz 2y agoWhat sounds revolting, sorbet?
- barbazoo 2y agoBeing accommodating and generally a decent human being apparently.
- BenFranklin100 2y agoNot imposing one’s personal preferences (i.e. veganism) on others is apparently as well.
- NewJazz 2y agoNo one is forcing you to invite such people over for dinner and cook for them. I'm sure they'd be happier not spending time with you, based on this short interaction I've had with you.
- BenFranklin100 2y agoI’m a very bad person, yes. And your comment speaks to innocuous parent post that dietary restrictions are leading to less people hosting dinner parties. See how that works?
- giraffe_lady 2y agoBuddy when you're eight comments deep fighting for your life like this how are you gonna pretend your initial statement was innocuous. You came here with a bone to pick.
- barbazoo 2y ago> Not imposing one’s personal preferences (i.e. veganism) on others is apparently as well. How would a guest impose their dietary restriction/preference on the host? All they can do is not eat.
- BenFranklin100 2y agoA filling vegan dish, as if you aren’t trying to purposely misunderstand my comment. Interesting the mods deleted my entirety innocuous parent comment as well.
- Jtsummers 2y ago> Interesting the mods deleted my entirety innocuous parent comment as well. No, they didn't. Unless by "the mods" you mean "the users of HN". Your comment was flag killed which is a consequence of user actions, not a moderator action. It also wasn't deleted, any logged in user can still see it if they turn on "show dead" in their profile.
- BenFranklin100 2y agoInteresting my entirely innocuous post was flagged killed by the users of HN.
- Jtsummers 2y agoIt happens. Best response is to ignore it or reach out to the actual mods (contact email on pretty much every page here). Commenting about negative moderation generally gets you more negative moderation.
- NewJazz 2y agoOK so any vegan dish imaginable sounds revolting, got it.
