No, it's rude to insult the hosts.

By all means decline, but if they've no prior knowledge of your 'likes' then it's really not your place to dictate what they serve.  Or to insult them by being offended by their menu.

I'm a big fan of raw pork mince spread on brÃķtchen but don't know what the yellow thing is doing there. It takes all sorts. As I said ^^^^ I don't understand how my friends, the faux veggies, can eat kippaz, salmon, and other assorted sea filth, and they don't understand how I can eat uncooked pork, and goat's cheese pies, but I know that we will have a great trip to Sheffield at the weekend and drink lots of real ale.

You understand me wrong

I'm talking about the host putting pressure on you to eat what they have served

Surely it's nothing to do with putting pressure on someone. I would always serve meat or possibly fish if I had guests for dinner. If I had been told in advance that they were vegetarian I'd prepare something else. I would never put pressure on anyone to eat what I'd cooked but I'd be slightly annoyed that they hadn't let me know beforehand if they were vegetarian or had special dietary needs.

 

I think it was very polite of Slim to have a go - as she has said she wasn't veggie at the time.

I'm terribly ashamed to admit (don't know if I dare) ........but ........my absolute favourite meat isVeal - love it.

 

Incidentally for the Venison lovers - Aldi do a lovely Venison steak in their frozen range.

Back home in the early 70s I used to campaign against eating veal, but it's farming and rearing is far removed from those practises now and I do actually believe that if we want to keep the breed, we need to use it.

Your choices must be respected

I agree that choices should be respected but it would be very rude to go for a meal with someone and not let them know your particular aversions in advance.

Yep - i agree

 

Baring in mind I was visiting my brother in Paris that I hadn't seen in over 10 yrs...if I had been told what we were going to have I may have said.
Ultimately, it did not offend the lady one bit.
Infact we dined with her again on my second visit.

If I had a guest to dine at mine it would in no way offend me if they did not like my choice of food....I would rise to the occasion & accommodate them best I could.

She didn't put pressure on me one bit...it was my brother who did that.
