My friend is accustomed to eating salads and things, but I do know she is pretty strict about eating even vegan things when they've been prepared along side non-vegan foods...kind of like cross contamination. I'd ask to see what he/she would be comfortable with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-for-20-with-one-vegan#post-314675 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 04:24:53 +0000 DigAPony 314675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to vegan-approved dishes are some kind of quinoa salad or vegetarian chili. Both delicious and can be enjoyed by all the guests! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-for-20-with-one-vegan#post-314594 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 23:14:27 +0000 Freckles 314594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is it a buffet style or sit down? if it's buffet, i would try and make sure there are a few options available for her. i probably would make something separate for her, something a little more filling than a salad or veggie sticks. :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/vegan_recipes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.101cookbooks.com/vegan_recipes/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-for-20-with-one-vegan#post-314584 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:57:12 +0000 spaniellove 314584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you could go over the menu with her and see if it's possible to customize part of a dish for her? She's probably used to these situations, so she might have some ideas and talking about it could help a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-for-20-with-one-vegan#post-314111 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:43:49 +0000 chopsuey 314111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd have a nice salad prepared? I would contact her and ask what types of things she can eat too. </p> <p>-.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-for-20-with-one-vegan#post-314098 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 19:41:37 +0000 Rubies 314098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two friends and I are preparing a meal for 20+ people and we've planned out a menu. We JUST found out that one of those people is vegan. She is able to eat some of the food but not enough to be full or enjoy the meal. Should I make something different just for her? Let her know before hand what the situation is? What should I do? </p>
