 Save me from the horror!
How do I deal with this dining nightmare next time??
What ammunition should I bring to the table to defend myself against the verbal 'veg' barrage? |
Assuming that it doesn't happen too often, but that you know it is going to happen again, if I were you and if I could find a vegetarian meal that would also fit my special dietary needs, I would just go with a vegetarian meal on that occasion.
Given that you are going to be stuck at that table with a bunch of complete assholes, best to just fly under the radar. If you can't find a vegetarian meal that will suit your special needs, then if one of them speaks up, tell them the truth, you were not able to find a vegetarian meal that fit in with your dietary needs, and could they possibly find something else to talk about?
