Those people are insufferable.

Vegans are militant vegetarians, although I prefer to call them orthodox vegetarians.

The three vegetarians dragged us to a vegan restaurant for Thanksgiving about 7 years ago. Nobody from their family had ever been there before. It was hilarious to watch the vegetarians read the vegan menu, Google each item, and give it the "blech" that it deserved.

I ordered some creamed corn entree, and the chef somehow managed to burn it to the point of being inedible!!!!!

Boyfriend of one of the in-laws. Not much to expand upon, since we are also guests and have not met the dude yet. Besides, we're still at least a policeman and construction worker shy of a Village People reunion!

I'm pescatarian, so i'd suggest some veggie lazagna (frozen one will do just fine). My family usually hooked me up with some enchiladas as a main course.

THREE vegetarians, and all of Italian descent. If you have never tried to serve store-bought lasagna to an Italian-American, let me just say that I'd rather take my chances wishing the Native American a Happy Thanksgiving.....

Haha, so your group contains a biker and cowboy?

Whoa, isn't that an oxymoron?

Ya, don't even mention anything store-bought, it's like blasphemy to them lol.

On the bright side, I did get to [respectfully] eat a nice, rare filet mignon at a restaurant in front of the vegetarians one Thanksgiving.....

You do know that anyone born from the tip of Chile to the top of Canada is a "native American," yes?

Let us remember and practice the true meaning of Giving Thanks today and every day!

Naturally ti's the season to put my culinary skills to good use.

Last night I baked 6 Pies! Both happen to be my absolute favorite:
PECAN (puh-kahn) and SWEET POTATO

I'll have to grab my peace pipe and ponder on that.

As am I and my family. I have to go back 3 generations on my mom's side to get a non-native American and I have no idea how far on my dad's.

Let's not derail the OP but there is no 'Americans' in official US govt vernacular. It's really referring to ppl living in the 'New World' but anyway, you Yanks wanna claim the whole freaking Western hemisphere, have at it.
