My friend's son is turning 1. Her DH's parents have major dietary restrictions. They are vegan but also have religious restrictions. For example, they wanted their food on a separate table. The whole thing is really stressing her out. If I had so many restrictions, I would just bring my own food or eat before I came, rather than trying to make someone cater to me. WDYT?
Re: S/o dietary preferences, WDYT
(provided vegan is ok with eating .0001% ground up bug parts by volume, this should solve both problems.)
honestly, her H needs to tell them to bring their own food or eat what is provided.
as inlaws, they can byo or they can offer suggestions.
as a host, she can make as many accomodations as she is reasonably able.
as a guest, i would byo. as the host, i would ask for catering recommendations from them.
And now I also want to know what religion requires that your food be on a different table from the food of the heathens.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
[QUOTE]I wonder how long they have had these restrictions? If is a life-long thing then surely they are used to dealing with this and would either be avoiding meal-times with others or bringing their own. <strong>And now I also want to know what religion requires that your food be on a different table from the food of the heathens.

She says Satsung, but she wasn't sure if that was the correct spelling. She may mean Satsang but I doubt that having your food on a separate table is an actual requirement of that religion.
[QUOTE]People that pretentious want everyone to cater to them. IMHO.

This. I know at least one vegan that I feel like eats this way just to be a pretentious pain in the a$$. He's also eaten meat as well without issue.
Either bring their own food (potluck style), they can host their own dinners, or don't plan social outings that revolve around food.
Or depending on their conviction, get the hell over their bourgie attitude of too plenty and be a gracious guest.
