Do You Cook Meat for Others?

HollyAnne

I recently started dating someone who is not vegetarian. We have met at restaurants a couple of times. Due to COVID, we are just taking our time getting to know each other. But if things continue to go well, I’d like to cook him dinner sometime. I’d like to make something he likes, and I know he really likes chicken.

My question is - do you cook meat for other people even though you don’t eat it yourself?

I don’t like it, but I have cooked meat for my meat-eating friends before. I try to accommodate my friends and their preferences. This year, I will be having a couple of people over for a Halloween get-together, and I plan to only cook vegetarian dishes. I’ve let them know that they are welcome to bring a meat dish if they’d like.

Yes, I cook meat for others. I figure just because it’s my choice it isn’t their choice. I don’t force my choices on anyone. My family eats meat. I feel like if I don’t cook it, it would be wrong.

My parents eat meat, but they are understanding that I don't. When they come over for dinner, they know that I'll be cooking meat-free. Sometimes, if my mom or dad asks me specifically, I'll cook meat for them. But other than that, I stick to veggie meals only.
