"Cooking vegetarian meals is complicated." [View all]

Huh?

No, it isn't. But, cooking without meat is such a foreign concept to people that it refuses to compute in their heads. Making a nice genoise cake with buttercream frosting is complicated, and yet I don't see any bakers complaining about making such a thing for friends because of the complexity of putting it together.

My OP-title is a generalized statement from far too many posters to Luminous Animal's thread in GD about her dense omnivore friends. I haven't finished reading the thread, but I am truly amazed at how many people don't understand how to cook for a vegetarian, or that think it's "difficult."

So, for the omnivores that read this group, here's how you do it:

Make everything else. Leave the meat out.

Now, how difficult was that?
