I was thinking about this and if I were the hostess and I served something someone did not like or could not eat - I would feel bad. So I think it would be a good idea to just contact them, let them know you heard that steak was being served and that it is not something that you eat and but that you would be happy to bring something for everyone to share. I'm willing to bet the host/hostess will be happy to put something else on the grill for you - if you eat chicken or fish or maybe even a veggie kabob.

It can be awkward on both ends because you don’t know how the other person will feel. But I think things have shifted so that most people are more understanding about these things. |

I’ve had vegetarians when I’m serving an omnivorous meal. If I am aware of that I make sure to include some hearty plant based side dishes.

I would make, bring, & eat my own food if I wanted to attend. I would let the host know ahead of time that I would be doing so and just say I have severe allergies. No need to mention you don't eat meat. In my experience, most people try to argue about, change you, or get offended by even mentioning you are a Veg*n.
I haven't eaten meat for 25yrs and get sick easily from cross contamination, so I won't eat food other people make or serve (other than a select few). -Not sorry I don't want diarrhea because you mistakenly used the same serving spoon in my side dish as your chicken casserole.
