What About The Veggies For The BBQ?
Vegetarians get a raw deal with barbecue days. Usually so much attention is paid to the carnivores that the vegetarians (and yes, they are increasing) are left to nibble on a bit of salad, if they are lucky. Vegans have even more problems and it usually isn’t really worth their while attending a barbecue unless it is specifically geared towards the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
If you get a more thoughtful host, you may be lucky to receive a quorn burger or even a baked potato. However, even though your host may be thoughtful in providing a vegetarian (or even vegan) alternative, they may not even pay a second thought to how the food is cooked, and to be fair their education in this direction may be lacking as the vegetarian way of life is completely alien to some people.
But if you are vegetarian or vegan, there is nothing worse than asking about vegetarian food and your host announcing, “Oh, we’ve got a funny one.” That said I have also attended barbecues where the host proudly announces they have catered for you and then throws a quorn burger or quorn sausages onto the meat grill! It’s never worth the hassle of trying to explain, so it’s back to the salad table or letting your host knows he should have tried a better
