I tend to view the meaty part of the meal in the same category as the non-meaty bits. So it's 'Cheezy brocolli and roast potatoes and roast cow and garlicy mushrooms', rather than 'Roast cow with veg'. So I'd be more inclined, instead of doing a veggie-only dish, to do another interesting vegetable dish and let people help themselves to what they want and leave what they don't. I usually put more thought and effort into the veggie bits of a meal, though, and there's hardly ever more than one meat-containing bit. Marna
