We have been friends for many years. Her becoming a vegetarian is new. She wants to offer to bring something that she'll eat. I think she needs to just eat whatever is offered by the hostess.

I agree. There are lots of options! Unless she's a total vegan, she can deal with mashed potatoes (minus gravy), sweet tater pie, cranberry sauce, green bean bake, and even stuffing (if its not made with chicken/turkey stock). What are her reasons for vegetarianism? If its health related, and she's done the research, she needs to know how to eat plenty of protein to get in her system what she's not getting from eating meat.

Tell your friend that your daughter is a vegetarian and ask what she's serving. If there is not enough to make your daughter happy then YOU should bring something. It would be a nice gesture for your daughter and for the hostess. It seems you are embarrassed by your daughter being a vegetarian...get over it, it happens all of the time. The less you make of it the more comfortable everyone will be.

I have a child that is also a vegetarian and she always takes a couple of dishes that are something she can eat. She also calls the hostess in advance to make sure it's alright to do so.

i'm a vegetarian as well and i would respect the hostess and eat whatever she had except for meat. but if she really won't eat anything that the hostess is fixing then it would be best she bring something herself so shes not just sitting there.

Everything there will not be meat related!! She can plan on eating the vegetables and fruits. If she wants to bring something to share with everyone that would be great!! The Hostess should not feel offended what so ever!

I think you should let her bring her own food, there is nothing wrong with that. She could still eat salads, fruits and vegetables, nuts and grains and other things considered vegatarian. Iam mostly vegetarian and many times I have not eaten the main meal at several places and there was no offense to me doing so. Besides, vegetarians are the healthiest people in the world, so why would you deprive her of such a blessing?....KECK

there is little or no distinction between a 31 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous and a 27 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. there's an excellent distinction between 21 and 17. a rather good variety of issues substitute in those few years. To me, it relatively is no longer appropriate to the age distinction, or the sexual selection. it relatively is approximately being 17. it relatively is because of the fact a 17 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous wouldn't have intercourse, and a 21 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous would desire to have intercourse. i will supply you that 17 is on the component. i don't comprehend Wisconsin rules, yet in maximum states 17 is of criminal consent. She's sufficiently previous to comprehend what she's doing, and your no longer doing emotional injury. Legally, i think of your ok. Morally, it relatively is variety of a tie. In a tie, i'd supply the nod to the mum. mom is familiar with perfect.

I gave a lot of thumbs ups to other answers, but one thing I disagree with in them is that it's okay for your daughter to bring something for EVERYONE to eat. The hostess will be working her tail off on a very nice meal, and I don't think your daughter should undermine that by bringing a dish that wasn't planned on by the hostess. Instead, she should bring an entree for herself only, and then eat the sides there. They should all be fine except for the stuffing and gravy.
And you should definitely talk to the hostess in advance. She may prefer to just prepare a little something on the side for your daughter.

If you have been friends for years, then it should be OK for her to offer to bring something. Imagine if you were hosting the dinner, and they bought over a vegetarian, would you feel bad if they hardly had anything to eat? I would! I would not mind one bit if someone offered to make my day a little stress free, and easier!

If she is vegetarian, why should she put her beliefs aside for someone else? It's appropriate for her to bring something she will eat and I'm sure there will be dishes served that are appropriate as well.
Last year I went to a neighbors house for Thanksgiving. I took dishes for everyone to eat including me. I took along vegetarian gravy, stuffing, glazed carrots and homemade cranberry sauce. There was plenty.
