This is really disrespectful. They aren't trying to force you to change your values, but the least you can do is respect theirs in their home.

Don't even ask. In fact, the polite thing to do is to insist they DON'T cook you meat!

I have to wonder what sort of person you are to even think about this.



Slim to none, and it would be EXTREMELY rude of you to ask them to do it. The person who said they should be open to your tastes is wrong. While they should allow you the freedom to make your own dietary choices at home, when you're in their home, it's only polite to accept what's offered to you without demanding animal products. Basically, you're proposing the equivalent of asking Jewish people to make you pork chops, or someone with celiac to bake you some bread. Besides, many vegetarian dishes are extremely healthy, and when prepared by someone experienced with the diet who knows how to balance a meal, they're just as filling as meat dishes.



not much. they should be open to your tastes, but if they are against it, they may not cook it.

try the veggie stuff. im not a fan of Tofu (lived in Japan for a while, and they can make it taste good). some veggie meals have better taste than thier meat counterparts. then again, theres nothing quite like kobe beef.....

mmmmmmmm steak....



Cook your own meat.
You really want them to have to prepare meat in their kitchen just because you can't go a meal without?
Anyway you seriously want to eat meat that has been cooked by somebody that haven't handled meat in ages and can't taste it?



just in case cook ur own before u go there and stash it in foil and a plastic bag and put it in ur pocket, if they dont serve u meat, get it out and put it on ur plate and chow down, make sure u under cook it so blood comes out and its nice and juicy.



You shouldn't even try. It's their decision to be vegetarian, respect it. You don't need meat every meal.
They're being hospitable by inviting you over, don't try to make them do something they don't want to.



I think it would be incredibly rude to ask them to cook meat for you. While you're at their home, you should eat what they offer. If you casually comment that you usually eat meat and they offer to cook some, that's different.



Like, NOTHING! I know I wouldn't let anyone bring meat in my HOUSE, much less my kitchen! Don't eat there, or live with it. You can eat when you get home. I think they'll like you better if you respect their priorities, anyway.



Depends how militant they are. Try the veggie alternatives the first few times.
