The top 5 easiest things to feed a vegan at a BBQ

Oh no! Vegan food is so weird. And there's a vegan coming to your BBQ. You've never fed one before. What on earth do they eat? Don't panic. Chances are, they will eat a lot of the food you're already serving, as well as some you might like to try.

5. Grilled Portabella Mushrooms

Most “regular” people like these too. It's a giant mushroom shaped like a burger. You grill it and slather it with spices, sauces or whatever you like. Goes great as a guacamole burger. Do remember to keep it away from the blood and gore, though. Vegans have a thing about that. Can't imagine why.

4. Salad Without the Meat and Dairy.

A vegan's worst nightmare is a yummy, perfect, green salad that has been desecrated by loading it with meat and cheese, topped with buttermilk ranch dressing. Why? Because there's good stuff in there. It's just buried in nasty. SO frustrating. Talk about a dangling carrot. Just stick with the veggies and vinegar and oil, please.

3. DUH! Watermelon

It's a fruit. You eat it on the 4th of July. It makes an appearance at nearly every BBQ you've ever been to in your life. Best of all, it's vegan and great for seed spitting contests. Yay!

2. Grilled Corn on the Cob or Sweet Potatoes With.....Not Butter

Vegetables are vegan. Who knew? Slap some sweet potatoes or corn on the grill. Drizzle on some olive oil and yummy spices, wait for the optimum texture and you're done. So simple and so very vegan. Thank-you!

1. Did Someone Say Guacamole?

Oh right, that was me. Vegans put guacamole on everything. They slap it on veggie burgers. They serve it in salads. They wrap it in.... wraps. They even put it in their Mexican food. Yum, yum, give us some!

Final Thoughts

So there you go. Vegans are not difficult to feed. There are thousands upon thousands of combinations of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains. Now if you could only get your vegan friends to tolerate that giant dead carcass you have on the grill. Hey, I know. Why not go to a vegan BBQ instead? Aw, come on, you know those ideas sounded delish! Why not have a try at some other great vegan foods? Be careful. though. We might just turn you. LOL
