August 24, 2007, Newsletter Issue #167: Social Events for Vegetarians
Tip of the Week
It's essential for vegetarians and vegans to look into meal options for social situations in advance. For example, a lot of major airlines have vegetarian meals readily available but may not be able to provide them unless you specify your dietary needs when making your reservation. If you plan on attending a catered event such as a party, wedding, or banquet, talk to the host ahead of time about your diet. Caterers can and will usually provide a vegetarian meal but will need to know in advance.
If you are planning on eating at a new restaurant, call before going in to ask about the menu (or look for the menu online). If you will be having dinner at someone's house, tell them that you are a vegan or vegetarian before committing to go or bring a "just in case" vegetarian food dish for yourself. It is definitely in your best interest to look into vegetarian options in advance for social events. If it's not your style to make a fuss, however, you can always just take your chances. In most cases you can probably find a vegetarian option or, if you're not picky, you can often times make a meal out of vegetarian side dishes.
