He just did his best and did’t knew better. For the average meat eater cooking something vegan is pretty hard because they just don’t have any experience. The fact that he tried is kinda cute, even if he didn’t succeed.
If you say something, they can learn. If you don’t say anything, they can’t learn.* Nobody’s saying you have to make a fuss or start an argument. I really don’t understand what’s hard to understand about this.
*besides, it feels condescending to not even try to explain and just assume they can’t understand
Saying nothing ever, may be the wrong decision. But there are better and worse times.
I believe the same day he made it and was excited and probably tired from trying really hard and all that, the validation is probably a lot more important than the lesson.
At a later time, when the situation is more relaxed, mentioning it kindly is a good idea, which can also prompt him to try again, instead of feeling like a “low grade”
I understand where you’re coming from. But this is a deeply held belief that not everyone is comfortable ignoring to be nice to someone. Would you expect the same from someone who keeps kosher or just from a vegan? Both are sincerely held beliefs.
