I am going to disagree - veal is still wildly accepted as main course dish

regardless of the negative conatations (sp?) associated with it.

they didn't purposely plan that to piss her off specifically - a little perspective maybe?

No, it's just more of a "You're making me eat dinner I don't like with people I don't care for on two days notice three days before Christmas!" thing. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 12:59 4
- Dude, let her off the hook. Apologize when you get there, "Something came up...her family and stuff." -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 13:02 3
  - Too late for that. When I learned of the meat last night, I offered her the out once again, but she's now got it in her head she'll disappoint me. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 13:07
  - Yup. This is the kind of thing that might be one of the straws on a camel's back, if ya know what I mean. (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 13:05 1
    - No, no, no. I shouldn't make it sound so dire. She's not looking forward to evening, but it's not like it's a major rift either. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 13:08
I would think it to be a better option for those against meat. I mean, they're gonna butcher it sooner or later. might as well be sooner -- nm - CQ Dec 22, 12:59 1
- I think the thinking is "the cows deserve to live for as long as possible". - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:04
I'm with Pippy on this one. -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:56 2
- At the same time, I would most definitely give my wife an out on this, regardless of the RSVP. -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:57 1
  - for sure - and I might even tell them why - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:00
