    You don't win friends with salad.

    I have a couple of veggie-types coming over for my next bbq...other than the usual boring grilled veggies what can I do for them?

    My great grandfather died of a heart attack.

    My grandfather died of a heart attack.

    My father died of a heart attack.

    So, yeah, it's called a HHD (Heart Healthy Diet) for me.

    Which does mean plenty of fruits and vegetables. The darker, the better. And walnuts. And oatmeal.

    It also means lots of salmon and mackerel. And I'm sorry, as much as I hate to harm the living things, I have to put me first- so between me and the salmon, it's me.

    It also means a steady diet of Pinot Noir.

    Everybody has to choose their own way. If that's veganism, props to you. Mine is HHD.

    You have to give them these new beyond meat vegan burger patties. They're pretty damn good, my (non vegetarian) friends say they can't tell the difference between them and real burgers which is pretty nuts. They're only sold at Whole Foods currently. Not sure if your friends are vegan or vegetarian, but if vegan you can pick up some vegan mayo and cheese from whole foods as well.

    I always wonder why veggie types even bother showing up at bbq's, maybe you just make really good coleslaws

    Your friends are lying to you. Also if non vegans like Buck are expected to make exceptions at a BBQ for vegans, then the inverse is true. Make your friends a double cheese burger with bacon and not make them smile and lie to you when you serve up a non beef burger.

    I am actually a little surprised that vegetarians would be interested in eating something that looks just like meat.

    It's not murdered animal flesh, it doesn't bother me ethically. I think it's a great product and product category, it helps people adjust to a vegetarian diet without missing the taste or the culture they grew up enjoying. It's healthier, much better for the environment, saves a lot of water, and requires no murder of animals.
