Her husband did the cooking, and it was great. Chicken with some Italian sauce on it for us, and fake chicken for her. It was interesting hearing what she would and would not eat. She loves Pot Roast, but just eats the veggies. Won’t eat cheese. Loves black eyed peas, but won’t eat it it it was cooked with bacon. Seems odd that pot roast veggies with gravy on it is Ok, but the black eyed peas cooked with bacon is not Ok. She might be Jewish, but I didn’t ask. That would explain the ‘no bacon allowed’ I suppose.

The husband loves chicken wings with buffalo sauce, so for her he fries Tofu and adds the sauce. Sounds awful to me, but she likes it.

She eats and likes the Burger King Impossible Burger and says it’s way better for you than a regular Whopper. Consumer Reports disagrees, but I didn’t mention that. I’ll just quietly stay with meat.

Great couple, and now the wife knows what to cook when they come this way.

Wait, she eats the veg off a pot roast?

I would have found out if she was, in fact, Jewish, but....you don't want me at a dinner party. I grew up with lots of Jewish friends, and I have a teensy bit of Jewish blood, so, no subject is off limits.

She ain’t fooling me. She’s eating meat when people aren’t around.

Won’t eat it if it was cooked with bacon.

Might have more to do with "Pork" than being "Vegan", just sayin...

I can greatly admire a true vegans dedication, but think it’s ludicrous to think we are not meant to eat meat.

I went on a vegetarian diet for our church for about two weeks. My body was not happy but I did have tons of energy. But I would not say it’s sustainable

What’s with the no cheese? It’s not meat.

Sounds like she’s doing it to be trendy. That’s a trend I can’t get with.

Vegan is no animal products, vegetarian is no meat.

I'll bet, there's at least, one other person there.....

I dont understand the point if everything they eat is flavored toward some kind of meat. Might as well eat the real thing.

A vegan wouldn't touch vegetables cooked with meat, she sounds like she wants to be vegan but isn't willing to go all in.

Also that impossible burger is something around 30 calories less than an actual whopper.

I don't understand it when the vegans and vegetarians want that meat flavor on their food. What is the point?

They think they're helping out the global warming catastrophe.....don't get me started.

They have fake bacon bits.

true enough.
those folks don't want anything that tastes like meat.

Being vegetarian is easy compared to vegan.

Cheese pizza, fetacinni alfredo, cesar salads all day for the win!

cheese enchalada, nachoes spaghetti etc. heck, a veggie pizza is pretty good.

A lot of vegans are just putting on a show, kind of like a bunch of Christians. The latter claim to holier than thou, they don't practice what they preach.

Just a swingin

Always find it ironically comical that the intellectually advanced humans turn away from the one thing that gave them the ability to evolve and develop the size brain they have.... cooking and eating meat.

Do you plan to return the invitation?

I think that’s just people In general

Yes, Bill, we will invite them over. Our differences can be ignored. He did suggest that cow farts worsen global warming, but they personally raise cattle. Figure that out. So, unless they tell me they love Elizabeth Warren, we’ll remain friends. They are 20 years younger than us, but we do have some common interests and we like them.

The wife will cook a pot roast for them, and brother can she cook a pot roast, and I will closely watch to see if any actual meat gets consumed by the lady (accidentally or on purpose) or if she slurps some gravy off the veggies. If so, I will not bring attention to a vegan backslide and embarrass her, but I sure will tell you guys. I will be sure that some bread is beside her plate, just in case she goes totally wild and wants to sop up some gravy.

As an aside...have any of you folks ever actually seen or heard a cow fart? I have not.

That meal the husband came pretty close to what my idea was, sounds like he just subbed in chicken for my meatballs. And the meatball recipe I gave you would win against most chicken
