"They make for bad travellers and bad guests...you're unwilling to try things so personally and so are proud of and so generous with. I don't understand that, and I think it's rude."
Chef Anthony Bourdain on vegetarians.
Talk about lack of perspective. It's all about "them" and "their fault".

Hmmm yes his vitriol towards vegetarians is uncalled for- but I do see his point of view.
After all, it is the height of insulting- to turn down someone's humble (if strange) offering of food, given the amount of time and effort they must have put into preparing said food.
Its happend in our home- although in reverse. A guest who had come home for Diwali didn't want to eat my mother's lovingly prepared saddhi because it had no meat in it. >-<
The best way is to just show up for post-dinner drinks. No eating- problem solved. ;)

Forgot to add- I've given up on Wordpress- after it started asking me to pay for minor changes to the site. I'm back on http://realmofdiv.blogspot.com

No. How about the fact that the meat eater is offending the vegetarian too - killing a defenseless animal and offering it as food? A lot of people find that offensive. Just the thought, forget about the meat.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I am not taking the moral highground, I just refuse to dumbly concede that subjective piece of real estate to assholes like Bourdain.
