drabcd: just tell them ur a vegetarian which I assume u r,, I dont eat meat, and I alwayz politely say so, and everyone understands. actually I was thinking about this myself: what if at the residents social they order for everyone and put a nice piece of steak infront of me  ...what am i going to do....throw up..life just doesnt get anyeasier

At my hospital it's a buffet. There is always something vegetarian on the menu - and I have gone as far as to tell the dietary persons - no pork. There are also salads. Throw up because a steak is in front of you? Come on. Do you all honestly think that you are the first people to come through that are vegetarians, vegans, only eat halal meat or not?

Even if you are the first, tell them and they will respect your beliefs. As simple as that. Edited by jehanzebali on Oct 19, 2009 - 9:58 AM

Btw, I was surprised to see the large number of US citizens who have gone totally vegetarian when I initially came here. Its a lot more common than is presumed....

well bbb what can I say...we vegetarians live in our own steak free world drabcd...food is the last thing u would ever have to worry about. I've done 2 years of clinical rotations in the US, and every conference, dinner, lunch ..anything ..has always had food that caters to everyone's requirement.
