Living in Salt Lake City (the liberal sanctuary of Utah) has lead to my wife having many vegetarian friends (all woman oddly). Also growing up in South Dakota has lead to me loving meat and requiring it with every meal. I guess you would call me a meatetarian To me a meal is not a meal without some form of meat. I love to cook and we host dinners at our place all the time. For a while I used to cook two types of food for these dinners meat and vegetarian. At the same time when we would got to their places for dinner they wouldn't return the favor and cook a meat dish for the people who weren't vegetarians. So eventually I came up with my own solution. Cooking an entire extra entree for 1 person doesn't make sense. Now when we cook dinners I tell the vegetarians what we are cooking (there is always a few vegetarian sides) and I give the vegetarians an option to bring their own entree if they want to. This has worked out decent.
