Perfectly well in my house. I am veggie, not vegan, but unless you are also veggie, or, like my good friend, eat veggie meals more often as the norm (with occasional meat thrown in), you are normally going to find meat served for supper, whether a steak, a roast joint or otherwise. It comes with a few caveats - I don't check the seasoning myself in something like a stew or meat pasta sauce (normally I have a helper to check for me tho!) so if you feel it is under seasonsed for your tastes, please let me know and I will provide hot sauce / herbs etc on demand!

I won't serve milk veal (I don't have an ethical problem with pink veal), and I won't serve foie gras. I will also get a touch annoyed if you are a fussy meat eater - if you eat meat, I expect you to eat meat - not to turn your nose up at oxtail, or such like or shriek when a fish still has its head on. I really can't be doing with 'supermarket meat eaters' who don't have a real idea of where their food comes from, how it is processed etc. If you don't like it, then you can have the veggie dish I have prepared for myself. I don't pander. That goes for kids too. I got some filthy looks and parents scurrying their children away a couple of weeks ago I stood with my friend's four year old and told him which of the cute petting animals he had eaten. He was cool with it, as most kids who are raised aware of where their food comes from.

I will always offer to make something to bring with me for supper at someone else's house, and am happy to have 'just the veggies' if someone 'forgets' that I don't eat fish (really, I have a darling friend, we've known each other 18 years or so, and she STILL thinks I eat fish)

I try to avoid animal products where I can - I don't opt for Omega 3 orange juice (or pasta, or margerine or bread), I avoid gelatin in things like candy and yogurt, I skip McDonalds french fries in Canada, question items like refried beans in mexican restaurants, and take a pass on lots of commercially baked items like twinkies. I do have leather shoes, and have fox hunted in the past. I've visited abbatoirs, skinned a deer, removed lead shot from a variety of birds, and sent family pets to become pet food. People make a lot of assumptions as to why I do or don't eat / wear certain things and are quick to cry 'hypocrite' when they spot a pair of cute leather stilletoes on my tootsies. I don't lecture others on their choices, but do ask that they respect mine. It really angers me that people have, in the past, tried to 'trick' me into eating meat by hiding it in a dish they claim is veggie. I just don't get what skin off their nose it is for me to choose not to consume meat and fish
