Culinary Conundrum
Ok guys so this is a reasonably serious if slightly tongue in cheek question. On Friday some good friends of ours will be in town on their way to cycle the Central Otago rail trail. Was looking forward to a BBQ and a few beers on Friday nite. Got an email today saying there will be another couple with them (no problem) but they are vegetarians so they thought we should know.
Question 1 : if I go to a vegetablists house for dinner will they make a special effort to cook a steak for me because I actually quite like eating dead animals?
Question 2 : if the answer to 1 is no ( I suspect it is) why the **** should I go out of my way to learn a wonderful new recipe for chargrilled brussel sprouts or some equally delicious dish involving mung beans when they wont get of their **** to cook meat for me?
Question 3 : is this rant symptomatic of the fact that I recently turned 50 and have actually become a grumpy old *****?
Answers please on a postcard to

I love meat, meat is good! Some animals you can pat, some you can eat, some you can do both.
1: I doubt it, they probably wouldn't be able to cope with the awesome smell of a rib fillet charring away to a perfect medium / medium rare...I suddenly got hungry then.
2: So don't bother. Just make extra salad and don't worry about it. If they were your own friends it'd be different and you might make the extra effort, but friends of friends turning up to freeload and abuse your hospitality, then expecting you to turn yourself inside out to cater to their STUPID WHIMS....NO F'N WAY MATE!!! . (you just have to imagine that last sentence getting steadily louder with spittle starting to spray off my lips towards the end of it)
3: Maybe, but WTF? It's made for a good thread.
Another couple of thoughts mate (can't seem to help myself now);
1: You could try to sneak animal products into as much food as possible, then giggle as they eat it (it would be for their own good.)
2: Get them really pi55ed and then wave a nice steak at them, then take pics of the feeding frenzy. Just keep your hands well clear! I'm going out on a limb here but I'd be almost certain that the chick is the real vego and he just played along to get in her hippy pants (I'm fairly confident here). Therefore, he'd be much easier to 'turn' back to the light.
3: Vegetables scream too you know!
4: Plenty of animals out there will eat us, so let's get 'em first.
Be sure and tell us how this meal turns out. Get the biggest chunks of meat you can mate. how about a whole pig or a lamb on a spit?
F#ck it, I'm coming over!

Well if it's sheep **** or cow **** then mostly vegetable derived
Now here's an interesting point I bet most people are unaware of ...
Sewer Treatment plants sell off "sludge cake" (solid waste removal content) as they call it for fertilizing
purposes
So chances are at some point your guests have unwittingly chowed down
on the left over minerals from somebody else's TBone Steak and then some ....lol
Sounds really appetizing eh ?
Analogy would be reuses of urine for water on the space station !

You sure they're full on, full fledged vegans? They may be the cruelty free, "nothing with a cute face" types who won't object to a nice swordfish steak.
Wanna hear something funny? Since getting my pup I've been frequenting dog forums too. Couple true vegans are in a quandary when it comes to their pups: regardless of what their masters eat, the dog MUST HAVE MEAT! Even funnier: the best diet is a diet of raw meat
But they love their doggies so much the compromise their morals and visit slaughterhouses and butchers for the cheapest raw meat
