Oh. I was thinking of my *own* preferences. Invited to a meal by a
vegetarian, I would be looking forward to something new I could
incorporate into my own menus. And perhaps overcoming my fear of tofu
(cooking it, not eating it). *I'd* be disappointed to be accomodated
by a vege-burger rather than offered a neat main-dish casserole. :-)
