That does seem rude and ungrateful Astrid. I must be one of those annoying people who don't eat mammals then. I eat chicken and fish but not red meat because I don't eat what i couldn't kill. I have fished and i have plucked many chickens after witnessing their beheading. I was forced to witness a sheep having her neck slit as a child and i think this has lead to my non mammal eating preference.
I however am always very grateful for any extra effort anyone makes to accomodate my preferences. I have had to cater for meat eaters who have been fussier than me and ungrateful so i don't think it is necessarily a meat/non meat eating situation. Many of my meat eating friends don't like many foods that i consider pretty tame: lettuce springs to mind... i mean what is with that?
Anyhow, i don't mind accomodating but by the same token i don't like to be accommodated for and have it impressed upon me how "inconvenient" i amI mean I basically eat anything except mammals. I also always bring my own chicken to BBQs. Foods that I eat that most people don't include: blue cheese, sashimi, wasabi, okra, turnips, swedes, SNAILS the list goes on...
