.....I've sadly / inevitably come to expect as a vegan from meat eaters with a bone to pick. Didnt exactly fill me with confidence.....
....free from the usual bullshit we have to put up with other 99% of the time when eating out.....
....I hope you get my point....
If some of our remarks did come across as defensive and / or hostile - could you blame us? The endless amount of shit we have to put up with, the absolute unstoppable tide of animal flesh and products being visible and pushed at us at every turn of our lives; and then when a space is created to escape that all-encompassing horrible day to day reality just for an evening with like minded folk (also with another passion of cycling in common), to have that potentially encroached on, mirroring every single other eating out occasion that we have to grin and bear, would be pretty annoying.
It's all gotten very "The Last Supper" around here. Sounds like the issue is with you to be honest.
It's a dinner, not a political statement. I want to go to dinner with some people I have not seen for a long time to eat one of my favourite cuisines. I do not want to attend a political rally at a Mexican restaurant. I will attend if it is the former, not if it is the latter.
