Are there certain types of vegetarians who will not eat at a house or go eat out with a person that is not vegetarian? If so is it common?
I know that people who keep kosher do not eat in non-kosher households, is it the same way for vegetarians or vegans?

I am a vegeterian and have been for a number of years. I eat where i like, and simply order something that doesn’t contain any meat. I would never not go out with anyone just because they aren’t vegeterian and do not share my believes. Not everyone in my family is a vegeterian, but I dont ignore them just becasue they eat meat – that just ridiculous. I respect that not everyone has the same believes as me and I would never hold that agianst them. I simply don’t want to eat adead animal.
Hitler was a vegitarian.
No it’s not the same. With regular vegetarians and vegans, they will eat anywhere, even if the people around them are eating meat.
Vegan-No animal products at all
Vegetarian-No meat
well strict vegetarians may be this way because they’re worried that something may contain meet in a non-obvious way, like cooked in animal fat, made with chicken or beef broth…stuff like that. i don’t know about not eating out with a nonvegetarian, thats just weird
Yes, those people are called VEGAN, not vegetarian.
They usually base their non-meat habit on MORAL issues rather than HEALTH ones.
Personally, I find VEGANS to be terrorists–they throw blood on peoples’ fur coats, they release animals into the wild when they can’t live that way, they won’t eat butter, honey, or milk, or use leather or suede, and they protest people who like to go fishing.
But they kill flies and mosquitoes……..
Hmmmmm……
I’m a vegetarian, and although it bothers me that animals are cruelly killed for our own personal gain, I respect that other people may not share my views. I go out with whomever I like, and simply order something vegetarian from the menu. And I politely decline when somebody offers me a bite of their steak.

everything about vegetarianism…
http://www.salagram.net/veg1.html
he word vegetarian, coined by the founders of the British Vegetarian Society in 1847, comes from the Latin word vegetus, meaning "whole, sound, fresh, or lively," as in homo vegetus – a mentally and physically vigorous person. The term ‘Vegetarian’ was coined in 1847. It was first formally used on September 30th of that year by Joseph Brotherton and others, at Northwood Villa in Kent, England. The occasion being the inaugural meeting of the Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom.
The original meaning of the word implies a balanced philosophical and moral sense of life, based on a sustainable culture, implying a lot more than just a diet of vegetables and fruits.
in the american heritage dictionary, it is define as:
The practice of subsisting on a diet composed primarily or wholly of vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds, with or without eggs and dairy products.

A vegetarian does not eat the flesh of animals. Although it is common for some people to exclude fish and birds from the “meat” category, vegetarians do not eat any type of animals. However, some vegetarians do eat animal products such as dairy and eggs (sometimes referred to as “lacto-ovo vegetarians”).

There aren’t types of vegetarians that won’t eat with omnivores,it is really up to the individual vegetarian if they do or don’t want to.I know vegetarians who cook in different pots and pans as meat eaters do.
the only "type" of vegetarian that would do that is either 1) very repulsed by meat and cannot be around it because of smell, look, etc. or 2) rude.
if vegetarian dishes are being served at a house that is also serving meat dishes, then a vegetarian *should* have no problem with eating there (unless #1 applies). those who make a big fuss are usually just trying to start drama… hence the reason the rest of us get labeled as whack jobs.
if a vegetarian refuses to go out to eat with a non-veg person, then that is rude. this is when respect for differences comes to play.
sooooo… for me, it is not the same as the kosher thing. i have no problem eating at a meat-serving home nor do i have a problem eating with a friend who is not a vegetarian.
