I don't know why you are vegetarian but I do know that a lot of vegetarians
have weird logical foundations for their idea to completely ban the
consumption of meat.
If you are one of those vegetarians who doesn't like to eat dead animals for
religious reasons than I don't see why it is not a problem to cooperate with
others people eating meat. Serving people meat would just be as bad as eating
meat yourself. If you can overcome the idea to serve meat you should also be
able to overcome the idea to taste those dishes. It wouldn't be eating but
just tasting.
If you are one of those vegetarians who doesn't like to eat dead animals
because the idea is unpleasant or you don't like the taste than you should
just grow op be strong and try that food. In most jobs you have to do things
which you don't like.
If you are one of those vegetarians who doesn't like to eat dead animals for
health reasons or for it's bad effect on the environment than there is no
reason to be strict about it. People are doing more bad things which are also
bad for health or the environment. The key is moderation. It won't hurt to eat
a little bit of meat. Besides, are you also opposed to eating eggs and milk?
Those foods also promote the consumption of meat. For the production of eggs
you need chickens but for each few born chickens a rooster is born. Either
they kill the roosters right away or they grow them for chicken soup. Also the
chickens who are to old and don't produce enough eggs will end up in the soup.
Often people become vegetarian but forget why they are vegetarian. The reasonsfor not eating meat becomes replaced by the dogmatic reason: 'because I am
vegetarian'. It can not be true that you are not eating meat because you are a
vegetarian. You are a vegetarian because you are not eating meat. 'Because you
are a vegetarian' does not need to prevent you tasting a dish composed with
meat.
Are the reasonsfor you being a vegetarian also reasonsfor you not being able
to taste and learn the dishes which you will be serving? And if there are
reasons which prevent you to taste the dishes aren't they also reasonsfor you
not being able to cooperate in having others eat meat?
