Has anybody ever had Thanksgiving with a "vegan"?

Yes, and i was curious about their food and actiolly tried the tofurky, surprisngly good to be honest. So what if the person is vegan paleo high carb low fat whatever don't be f---ing tight ass just enjoy and let others be.

You can't remember the last time you talked to somebody who doesn't hunt? I call bs on that.

Yes, I've had Thanksgiving dinner with a vegan. Not a problem as long as they don't get all preachy over dinner. I made mashed potatoes without butter and using almond milk. Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Vegan stuffing, and Roasted Root vegetables. We added Turky and another stuffing option for the rest of us.

And the hunting thing? I'm not sure where you live, but I'm pretty sure 95% of the people I come into contact with on a daily basis have never fired a gun, let alone hunt.

Yes, I've had Thanksgiving dinner with a MEAT-EATER. Not a problem as long as they don't get all preachy over dinner over the lies that the body needs protein, hunting helps the animal population, & factory farming feeds the world.

Ive had dinner with a couple vegans and it is painful listening to them take 5 minutes to go over their order and then complain when they get the food that something was added or missed and then complain about the animals being abused and murdered throughout. I try hard to avoid eating with a vegan or vegans. I suppose if they didn't implicitly or explicitly feel the need to let everyone know, "Hey, look at me, I'm a vegan therefore I'm a good person and better than you all for restraining myself from eating meats," then it wouldn't be an issue with me at all.

I kind of feel like it's going to ruin the atmosphere. I was under the impression that the whole point of Thanksgiving was to be thankful for the feast. I can't remember the last time I talked to somebody who doesn't hunt let alone somebody who doesn't eat meat. I might call it off and just tell them I got sick at the last minute. Anybody have any experience with something like this?

I had a "Friendsgiving" dinner last weekend with a group of friends (several of us are paleo), and the hostess is vegan, yet she prepared us a turkey, which was delicious. She is definitely a very cool vegan in my book.

No. Vegan's are not allowed in my house.

Yeah, a girlfriend in college was vegan. Pretty awful coming to my family's house for Thanksgiving.

She ate some tofu turkey, which was nasty. No butter on anything, which meant she couldn't even eat the vegetables. (Some of which also had bacon. Delicious!) So, tofu turkey. Maybe a piece of bread, I can't recall.

Not even a piece of pie for dessert. That also had butter in the crust. I think we found her some nuts or something in the cabinet. And then we broke up early the next year and luckily I've never had to deal with a vegan again.

With that being said, I try to avoid having Thanksgiving with vegetarians for my own sanity.

Cheers!

Funny you should say that. I won't allow meat in my house. If you're going to eat in my house, don't bring dead carcasses.

Oh yeah, nice use of the apostrophe.

I hate when people refuse to participate in animal violence!

I am a vegetarian (not vegan) and Thanksgiving is by far my fave holiday for eating. Of the dozen or so typical offerings, I can eat 11 of them! I bet I eat more of the dishes than meat eaters do. I eat EVERYTHING but the turkey - so 11 of 12 for a 92% completion rating. Meanwhile the meat eater to my left doesn't like the stuffing because it has celery, the guy to my right only eats white potatoes & doesn't touch yams. As for the green bean casserole, fuhgedaboutit! No one under the age of 25 is touching that. Carrots, brussels sprouts??? Puhleese. Vegetarians eat like Kings on Thanksgiving!!

No.

I'm a vegan. I don't care what other people eat. I'm staying out of their plates. On many ocations on the dinner table, people laughed about me being vegan. You think I give a shit?

I know I'm doing the right thing so why should I care about other people?

I sit at the table wether there's meat or not, and eat the vegan food there.
