I think I fed my veggie house mate meat products?!
He said they were lovely though :) I haven't told him though... think I should?
Answers: I made beef suet dumplings in a stew and didn't realise they were "beef" suet until after he'd ate them :s
He said they were lovely though :) I haven't told him though... think I should?
thats rather funny. if i was you i'd keep quiet for now and if he's ever nasty to you or really annoys you tell him then xxx
Keep it Schtum..
god no, he'd be gutted. next time look for a vegetarian alternative.
hahaha...aww, well accidents happen. if you think your house mate could handle that news then tell him but otherwise, like the old saying goes; 'what they dont know, wont hurt them'.
Ha Ha Ha, I would deffinately tell him.
No point in telling him. You made them and didn't realize what they were? Are you saying he didn't know? That makes more sense. He shouldn't just be going around eating random food without knowing what's in it.
Wondering why everyone thinks it's funny? It's not a huge deal, but what's funny about it?
if he enjoyed it dont tell him.!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha..Brilliant!!
I wouldn't say anything. just forget about it...Funny tho!!
try it again then tell him
You did not do it on purpose so tell him, apologize and just be careful next time.. can't undo what's already been done..
keep quite.
I think you should keep that to yourself, especially if it was only an accident... just learn from the mistake and don't do it again, of course. No need to make your friend paranoid about what you cook or to cause tension or make him worry.
Nothing like deceit and dishonesty to build a long lasting relationship!
You really should tell him. It would be ignorant and mean not to. Vegetarians are vegetarian for a reason and he should know what he was consuming. To be honest it's his basic human right.
He wont be angry if you tell him you did it by accident. He might be shocked but he has no reason to be angry at you at all.
Besides, he might realise eating meat is not that bad if you tell him.. Haha!
But I would tell him. He has a right to know.
Edit: Tell him you only realised afterwards too. He'll definatly understand. Im sure hes made mistakes of his own of this manner too!
I don't think you should tell him, but what will you do if he askes you to maken that lovely stew you made him the other day, again?
I wonder....
the only problem that could arise out of you not saying anything, is if he asks for it again because they were so delicious. then that might be a good moment to say "it was my grandmother's recipe, and a troop of drunken monkeys stole the card out of my rolodex." and hope he falls for it.
I think that you should tell him, and apologize.
Accidents happen.
Be prepared for this incident to become a long-standing joke in your relationship.
What he doesn't know wont harm him, keep quiet and try to be a bit more careful next time.
I firmly believe in 'fessing up'. I would tell him, apologize, and take my medicine. We are all human and make mistakes. I would rather get it out in the open now and not have to worry about it accidently coming up in conversation, or eating at me because I don't trust my room mate enough to tell him when I screwed up. I have two housemates and we are open and candid about everything. If he is your friend, he will forgive you and perhaps help you be more careful. I'm sorry... IMHO not telling him is deceitful in this case. If he is a true friend, he will respect you for being honest with him and respecting his lifestyle choices enough to be concerned about an honest mistake on your part.
I would say keep quiet about it now, and about three years later- say "uhhhhhh, heh heh, remember them dumplings I made back 3 years ago?"
He should be able to find the humor in it at that point.
There's plenty of other fat sources to use that are vegan or vegetarian for the next time.
It's over and done with.
If you tell him, to what end? It won't undo the mistake. You'll just make the person feel bad. But if it's a health risk, tell. Otherwise, if you just wanna tell him for your own peace of mind, that would be a rather selfish reason. Just allow the guy to be happy.
I think you should tell him.
Not telling him is being patronising. Its like saying "ooo, he's too weak and fragile to take the news"
The only other reason for not telling him is cowardice. You did it by mistake, why worry ?
Tell him you did it, tell him it was a genuine mistake.
Would you prefer to share a house with an honest person ? I bet you would, well, so would he.
All those people who are saying keep quite, are you really saying you would rather be lied to ?
If you end up deciding "not telling him" is the right thing to do, and assuming you don't have double standards, then you are saying you'd rather he lied to you whenever he did something wrong.....surely not eh ?
No telling him is also YOU deciding what is important to him, who are you to judge whether its important to him or not ?
Sure, not telling him might be the easy thing to do, but is life about always taking the easy route ? Or does honesty play a part too ?
I'd want to know, sooner rather than later. If you tell him ni the future,that is sure to cause more problems than telling him now.
I'm suprised he didn't notice anyway, maybe he did and is waiting to see how much respect you show him
I'd be fine if you told me, i'd be furious if i "found out" you were knowingly keeping it from me
Dont tell them it would not be worth the hassle! I bet if they made a lasagne with quorn mince and u didnt realise it wasnt meat they wouldnt tell you!
dont't tell him just yet, keep it for a special occasion!
Unless he is seriously allergic then No. He probably doesn't eat meat as it affects his conscience, so let him just believe it was meat free.
It was purely accidenta on your part, and no harm done. I am sure you will be twice as vigilant next time as a result.
I think you should tll him, if someone had done that to me I'd want to know. Just ensure to be careful next time you make him food that it actually is vegetarian.
OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!CALL THE COPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't say anything because he'll feel horrible about the fact that he ate meat! Just check ingredients more carefully next time.
I think you should tell him. Would you like to be lied to? Just say you are sorry. Accidents happen.
You can get a vegetarian suet for next time as well. :-)
Assuming it really was a genuine mistake, I think the upset of knowing would do more harm than the mistake itself.
Of course, there is always a chance your housemate avoids meat for religious, or even allergy reasons, in which case, maybe he SHOULD be told.
IF you tell him, I think I would casually read over the dumplings packet, and say, shocked 'Oh s***, you never told me dumplings were made with suet...I'm sooo sorry, you SHOULD have said'...........
Learn from your mistakes and move on. No need in upsetting him over nothing.
