# Will they cook mean for their omnivore friends when they come 'round?
If so, I applaud them.

If they give them the 'But you don't need to eat meat' schtick, then they can jolly well stick it right up their pipe and smoke it.

# That's almost what you said before (bar the mean/meat bit)
I would imagine not, why should they, that's like being annoyed if a Jewish friend didn't want to eat your bacon sandwiches and then being annoyed when they didn't cook you some in their own home - but with less religion and more ethics/health benefits.
Seems a shame not to get on with people because of their dietary choice though. Where do you stand with nut allergy sufferers? :D

# I don't allow them into my house
but that's mainly because I live in a peanut farm

# Well this is it.
How come it's acceptable for a smeggy to go to a restaurant and expect to be catered for, but the moment you ask for steak in a veggy restaurant they look at you like you've just raped their daughter again?

EDIT: A nut allergy is not a choice based on some need to feel worthy about something. Vegetarianism is.

# I've never known a veggie ask for anything that wasn't labelled as vegetarian on a menu in a restaurant
but asking for meat in a veggie restaurant is like asking for fish and chips in a library, they just won't have it in stock! At least a restaurant can just not put the meat on a plate, or do the veggies you know demand the restaurant staff go out and buy new meat free alternatives just for their meal?

# Not at all.
It's a restaurant. Why can't I have meat? Oh - because we don't do meat because it's bad m'kay - it's murder, actually.

I understand it's just free market capitalism, and it's their loss, which is, I suppose, a good thing to come out of it.

# So you expect a Thai restaurant to serve Italian food?
A veggie restaurant isn't all about meat being bad, its about vegetarian meals

A sane minded vegetarian wouldn't walk in to a restaurant called "only meat" and expect a non meat meal. Why should anyone expect the opposite?

# You can order egg n' chips in many curry houses, I understand.

# but that's often on the menu (sad state of curry house affairs)
You honestly believe that any restaurant should serve any food that isn't on the menu?

# A sad state of affairs why? The market's there - they're catering to it. Nothing sad about it at all.
Many restaurants do already serve any food you want/a whole range.

Of course - it's their right to serve only cornflakes if they want, but at least if you specialise in Italian or Indian or whatever its just because that's what you've specialised in, instead of being preachy or sanctimonious about it, which is what the essence of a vegetarian restaurant is.

# bollocks! :D
If you've been in a preachy restaurant that's because of crap staff.
The veggie restaurants I've been in are just places to eat with different food in to other restaurants, they don't come with a side order of opinions :D
It's just eating food of different flavours and textures in a restaurant, not joining a religious cult.
