Hi everyone

Welcome! :D Your concern about friends and family members being annoying when it comes to vegetarianism definitely isn't something unique to Iran. People are crazy about this everywhere, unfortunately. :rolleyes:
thank you , I always thought it may not be the same in different countries .... it's surely not, but apparently the whole attitude is kind of the same all over the world !
 
Hi and welcome Majid :)....maybe you know of these places ....it looks beautiful decor , beautiful people and beautiful food .

also this guy seems to be in the know

and yes he is . most of iranians are warm to foreigners . that our instinct :)
where are you from ? and are you really 113? :D how your relations get along with you being vegetarian/vegan ?!

'and are you really 113? :D
.... actually , my birthday is next month so that brings me up to 104:D

'where are you from'
...New Zealand , we call it 'Down Under'

'how your relations get along with you being vegetarian/vegan
' ....Very good , (some are vegetarian anyway) both relations and friends they are very careful with what they serve me :).

'one is actually close to our house that i eat there approximately twice in a month
' ...You are so lucky to have a veggie restaurant so close . Have you ever taken your relatives along to the restaurant, for a birthday celebration or whatever . I have done that and they look around and say "oh they are people just normal like me ";)

Do you cook at home ....maybe you could prepare a veggie dish for everyone once a week (with some ingredients that they like) and see how that works out .

In the beginning if someone asked why don't i eat meat , I just use to say "because I don't like meat " . That use to keep them quite .
Over time , i just developed calm respectful honest replies and if someone doesn't like it ...its their problem , not mine .

:)

1. I'm happy to have a friend from New Zealand.
2. good for you . that's an important item for every vegetarian/vegan
3. yes i have and they liked the food and the place but it has never made any one of them vegetarian/vegan. the birthday suggestion is a great idea . i think i'm gonna do that :)
4. i cook as much as i can but i don't have a lot of leisure time .... every time i cooked sth vegetarian they absolutely liked it but again it didn't turn them vegetarian . they all went " although it doesn't contain any meet it's still delicious" :D
