The exact opposite happened to me. My work was having an employee appreciation BBQ and said they’d be serving hotdogs and burgers. I packed my own lunch since I’m vegetarian. I ate my lunch in the cafeteria alone to avoid explaining why I wasn’t eating hotdogs and burgers. I went out after to hang out with everyone and as the BBQ is ending the manager threw out a bunch of food and staff were like “Woah what if someone wanted to take those home??” And the manager said “they’re veggie dogs and burgers. I guess nobody is vegetarian here”. He even said he made sure the meat was kosher/halal so anyone could take part in the staff appreciation BBQ. Like…bruh…thank you.
Ya’ll know you can grill vegetables right? You can actually eat other things than solely meat at a cookout, and most vegetables pair pretty well with meat.
And it is delicious. I grill peppers, asparagus, chicory, cauliflower, onions, whole garlic bulbs, mushrooms, you name it. In combination with fresh herbs, salad or cabbage, baked potato, spiced oils, vinaigrette, compound butter and bread you can make a vegatarian welcome at a BBQ. Then there is the whole vegetable burgers and stuff, seitan…tofu et cetera.
If ur bbq doesn’t have vegetables you’re gonna be strugglin on the toilet later, but hey chase your bliss I guess
ah yes, all of the zero grams of dietary fiber in beer, how could I forget
It’s a shame that Americans have been deprived of community for so long that they feel this way. Accommodating people takes so little effort
Yeah, but if she held up a sign saying “people can grill vegetables too” then we wouldn’t be talking about it. Controversy sells clicks and drives engagement…
Yeh but this is Lemmy and the picture is even hosted on a Lemmy server. Ain’t nobody paying for clicks from some tiny niche community of Linux nerds and disgruntled reddit refugees.
I don’t expect shit from anyone. That said, when I’m at one I’m still going to ask if there are options, because why wouldn’t I?
