Honesty is the best policy on this one. Just tell her that you are a vegetarian and that you would love to come over but, you would like to bring a vegetarian dish to go along with their roast. This way they can have their roast but, you can also bring something vegetarian that you like that they might like to try. A good pasta dish or vegetarian lasagna is always a nice complement to a roast. Good luck.

I don't think she has invited you because she needs someone to help her eat a chunk of roast beef - she invited you because she would like to have you come over. Tell her you would love to come but you are a vegetarian. She may feel overwhelmed with trying to cook for someone who is vegetarian so tell her it is fine if she makes the roast for her and her husband and offer to bring a vegetarian dish to share with them.

" I appreciate the invitation, and would love to spend some time socializing with you and your husband. I should tell you, though, that I am a vegetarian, so I'm going to be more interested in the salad than the roast - no matter how perfect it is. "

Tell the truth. Honesty is always the best policy. If you don't mind that they eat meat in front of you tell her your a vegetarian. That you'd would love to share a meal. She now knows that you will not be eating the meat and should have some extra vegetable dishes for you to enjoy.

Tell her how much you appreciate her thinking of you, and then tell her you are vegetarian...if you can even tell people you are one, there are issues...if you can't get the nerve up...then go eat the roast.

Tell her the truth. Tell her you would love to come over and don't want to be a bother so will bring something to eat. That way you can enjoy meeting her family as well as enjoy the meal.

You can't bring a sack lunch, so leave town this way you don't have to lie to her that your leaving town and can't make it for the roast , you probably need a little R&R anyway, so yes I would leave town then your under no obligation to say yes,

I would either politely turn her down or explain that you would like to join them for dinner but you are vegetarian. Maybe offer to bring a dish.

Tell your boss you're vegetarian then she can sort you out something different. She will be embarrassed if you turned up and then told her, it would be awkward for you both.
