Icecub Wrote:Some ideas please...
1. Make the vegetarian eat before he/ she comes out to be sociable. Alternatively inform the person that it's a carnivore feast and perhaps to consider bringing a leg of lamb so that they might accept him/ her into the group?
2. Get a caterer. Costly but at least you get to drink more and be social.
3. Get the vegetarian to go hunting on mainland Britain. He/ she can bring back the spoils for you to enjoy. Pick a few mushrooms, nuts and roots and leave it for him/ her to figure out how to cook and enjoy.
4. Get a caterer. They normally have a range of menus available for you to peruse and you can spend spend shop and spend.
5. Send the invites out listing someone else's address/ expensive restaurant/ dodgy kebab shop and stay at home with hubby and get completely plastered. Without the vegetarian of course. Maybe get the caterer to supply you with a private dinner - the mind can go wild here. You can dress up like santa's helper and throw tupperware too..
Alternatively you can:
get a caterer to do it.
Let us know how many people?
What are their ages?
When exactly (seasonality springs to mind)?
What is the theme (Black tie etc)?
What is the budget?
