Additional charges at weddings - I've heard it all now!!

Bad news Liverlips, as someone else has said, meat is meat, so is chicken and salmon. Vegetarians eat dishes made from vegetables, pasta, nut roast, etc. I agree not spending a huge amount of money makes a lot of sense.My daughter is vegetarian, the first thing she asks when invited to a wedding is what time is the dinner. She knows all she will be able to eat is what ever vegetable is served up with the main course. If roast potatoes are on the menu they are out because they will have been cooked in the fat of the meat. So, she has to take sandwiches to fill up before the dinner. A wedding is usually a long day and by the time the reception comes round everyone is starving, including the vegetarian. But usually they are not catered for and are left hungry unless they bring their own food. It's not very polite to go digging on the plate either to see if there is gravy ( made from the juices of the meat ) you see the problem.

I've never heard of a hotel that didn't offer a vegetarian option at a wedding. Most hotels don't include it on the menu but will have asked the bride and groom for a rough idea of how many vegetarian guests to expect. Tell your daughter to tell the waiting staff at the next wedding that she's vegetarian and she should get a suitable dish. Each table at our wedding was asked if there were any vegetarians and they were catered for ...afaik it was a vegetable pasta bake. The hotel usually offer the vegetarian dish to any guests who don't eat the main course...we had beef.

I've yet to go to a wedding that did'nt have a vegetarian option. Its not usually on the menu, but is always available if asked for.
 
I was at a wedding recently where the couple themselves were vegetarians. They had three vegetarian main course options, plus a limited non-vegetarian option which they quickly ran out of!

I wish all weddings were like that!
 
Was a pretty unique and well-thought out wedding -- best woman instead of a best man, speeches before the dinner, etc.
 
I see nothing changes on this forum, all some people can do is copy and paste and di-sect everything people said. Chicken is not meat it is poulty and a child could tell you that, plus what i meant about asking guests if they do not eat meat is one of my bridemaids does not eat meat only chicken or fish. Plus i will be offering vegetarian choices.

All i can say to some of the smart people on this site is get a life and stock di-secting everything people say.
 
I taught this might educate you all a bit get your facts first, i knew already that there is different types of Vegetarians but by the looks of this topic alot did not know that.

Types of Vegetarians

One thing that many people don't realize or understand is that there are different types of vegetarians. Each individual vegetarian has his or her own personal reasons for choosing their diet, and these reasons determine exactly what foods they eliminate. Although a few different reasons and motivations are described in the Why? section, below is just a brief definition of each type of vegetarian.
  • Total Vegetarians eat only plant food. They do not eat any animal foods, including fish, eggs, dairy products, and honey.
  • Vegans not only omit all animal products from their diets, but they also eliminate them from the rest of their life. Vegans use nothing from animals, such as leather, wool, and silk.
  • Lacto-Vegetarians will include dairy products into their diet of plant food.
  • Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians eat both eggs and dairy products.
  • Pesco-Vegetarians include fish into their diets.
  • Pollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck.
lso their is
 
If god didnt want us to eat animals, he wouldnt have made them out of meat.

.....can someone split this thread off into a vegetarian discussion cos Im getting hungry. Im gonna have steak tonight, just take the horns off, slap its This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language and put it on the plate, just the way I like it.
 
:D Damn, I thought I was a total veggie for the last 15 years!
Where am I going top get a big bag of tomato feed at this time of night ;)
 
We are meat eaters. Vegetarianism is not natural. Our intelligence and our short intestinal tract have developed over the last couple of hundred thousand years because we eat other animals.
No one eats Giant Pandas and they are nearly extinct. Loads of people eat cows and there are millions of them. If you want to ensure the survival of a species farm it and eat it! :D
