We are having friends over for a Barbque on Monday. We've never had 1 of the couples over before. Another friend said one of the people eats Vegan only. That person didn't tell me, so I'm not sure what to do or not do. Any suggestions? Thanks

Imo, if a person/couple that one is not 'familiar with' accepts an invitation to house party/eating situ, and did not express their 'food issues/preferences', I would not be doing a side bar menu just for them.

If one has salads, veggies, et al, along with the non-veg items, they should be able to eat something(s) from your selection...

I think we will do as you say but not go much out of our way. Maybe get some Hummus Dip, with cut up veggies. Thanks!

We usually don't expect anyone to do anything lol.

We're used to it!

I usually bring something to share . Hummus etc is a good idea but not too filling.

I often bring a big, good-looking salad with a big variety of stuff in it, and not mention the fact that the shredded cheese in it is not "real" cheese.

That eliminates a lot of the awkwardness and gives others something to enjoy.

if a person has special food requests, they should let the host know in advance.
