Is it ok for me to bring my own meat to a party hosted by vegetarians?

lisa t Answered:
It is probably a middle finger to them. So do not do it.

No, that would be rude.

Surely you eat vegetables at other times?Then you should have no problems eating this meal.

If you had a specific dietary problem or allergy, you could talk to the host/hostess about bringing a SUBSTITUTE.But that is not the case here.

Eat the meal, enjoy the company and if you just must, get a hamburger on the way home.

NO. You eat with vegetarians, you eat what they serve. And if it isn't enough, you go for a burger afterward. It would be VERY impolite to bring your own food in this situation.

No, it's rude and it might hurt their feelings. Just eat the food they cook? It's only one meal. Then you can go home and cook your own meat to eat.

as funny as that is, dont do it. the hosts will feel badly. Some vegetarian food can actually be pretty good. try new things, one meatless night wont kill you

I would ask the hosts of the party about it. Whether or not this would be okay with them depends on several things. Is this party being hosted in their home? If so, what are their reasons for being vegetarian? Is it solely for health reasons? Religious? Or do they do it for the sake of animal rights? If for them, it's nothing to do with moral issues, they likely wouldn't care, but if it is for moral and ethical reasons, they may not want anyone bringing meat into their home.
If the party is being held someplace other than their home, such as a banquet hall and they are simply electing to serve only vegetarian food, I doubt it would likely be an issue to them if someone chose to bring a meat meal for themselves.
Most vegetarians claim to not have a problem with others eating meat, even around them, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are fine with allowing that in their private homes. I and my family eat meat, but I if I was hosting a party in my home, and a vegetarian guest wanted to bring their own meatless food, I'd have no problem with that.
But, the difference is, they are not asking me to compromise my morals by allowing something in my house I don't believe in. It would be like if I had a moral objection to drinking alcohol. I may not care if others choose to drink or even do it my presence, but if I was hosting a party, I wouldn't allow someone to bring a six pack into my house.
People have a right to expect to have their beliefs upheld in their homes, whether or not others agree with them. Like I said, I would just ask the hosts how they feel about it and if they don't want you bringing meat, just eat beforehand and maybe eat only a little at the party to be polite.
You might also try posting this in the vegetarian section, to get some feedback from vegetarians on this issue.
