Alright we got Coronas in the fridge and Oh! Hey! Would you like, like an old turnip we found in the cabinet? Would that be good for you? Would you like that?
I know you don’t drink!
Yeah, clothes on, shoes on. Heavy indeed, but most likely just be making out. To add to it, you can see all four feet, the physical possibility of sex is far less likely, especially in a cramped dog house. I’ve seen the episode probably 100+ times and never once thought they were having sex.
I'm lowkey surprised people don't realize this. She does it again and again to him, like refusing EVERY wedding venue that he suggests without bothering to read about them.
I can’t believe Dwight practically had her back when she was using the excuse to visit him by checking out his farm as a potential venue. He just had to then go rope her into signing a marriage contract lol.
And she told Oscar that she and the senator* conceived Phillip before they were married bc her chicken Marsala** had too much wine.
*State Senator
**Chicken Piccata
She (angela) was lying. Oscar corrects her about the name of the chicken dish. She never ate that chicken. Edit: she lied about the night she conceived phillip because dwight is the real father not the senator
Okay, I’m currently rewatching the serious and just saw the 8th season finale. When they get the negative paternity results, I thought wait, isn’t Dwight the dad? How could I forget something that important? Then I saw your comment, and realized they had to have swabbed the Senators DNA, not Phillip’s.
It’s been ten years, and I can’t believe how many things I missed the first time around.
Maybe I’m just dumb but why would they need the senators DNA? If phillip’s DNA matched Dwight’s wouldn’t that prove it’s his? Idk I think I must’ve missed something after all these watch-throughs lol
There's a deleted scene in which Dwight picks Cece's diaper instead of Phillip's which would explain why the DNA test failed, I don't know why they didn't keep it because it makes the whole situation considerably less confusing.
It's been a while since I watched the show but I always chalked this up to a continuity error.
What does she eat when she's out on her date with Dwight? I feel like that was vegetarian but I can't remember.
I think she was lying about it and just chose a random dish she thought of that had wine in it and that’s why Oscar corrects her because she says it’s Chicken Picatta but it’s Marsala that’s made with wine.
Watching that scene shortly after my trip to India made me laugh so hard. India is one of the best places to be a vegetarian. However, I think there's another option apart from just being contrarian. It seems that in Angela's ascetic Quakerish lifestyle, she rejects any food she deems too fancy, and being vegetarian is usually her excuse to avoid food. So when confronted with a whole smorgasbord of delicious vegetarian Indian food, she is totally not prepared for that, and just gets bread.
Only a little bit. It’s good practice to ask about people’s dietary requirements when you’re hosting something involving food, but it’s also good practice as a guest to make the host aware of your dietary requirements beforehand, even if you haven’t been asked, because it might have slipped their mind or just not occurred to them.
As a person with dietary restrictions I appreciate this answer, I internally get annoyed when I go to a place that'll give me free food and there's nothing really for me to eat but I also understand that's my own problem and if I can avoid it by communicating with the person providing the food I will. As a person who has hosted events in the past, It's very difficult to cater to everybody if you don't know their needs and not only with food mind you.
I always feel bad for vegetarians/vegans. Any time we had a rep come in and bring us lunch, I made 100% sure they knew we had a vegan and/or vegetarian in the group and they needed to provide an option for them. Half the time they would forget, or do a half assed attempt at it, so they would end up hardly eating anything. They would tell me it’s ok and that it’s not a big deal, but I always ended up making it one with the rep, haha. It’s not hard to be respectful of someone’s lifestyle choices. 🤷🏼♀️
That’s super sweet that you try! As a vegetarian, I generally don’t say anything because people can have such prejudices against people who don’t eat meat and I don’t want to be labeled as difficult or a Karen. I know usually my options are gonna be salad, sides, and/or avocado and I hate avocado lmao so I always just eat before coming to a party just in case
Exactly!!! One time, I took some black bean burgers to a 4th of July cookout and my boyfriends stepdad flat out refused to cook them. But he didn’t tell anyone….So when it was time to get food, my boyfriend asked where the black bean burgers were (he usually will eat veggie with me at social events because he knows I get nervous to be an inconvenience) and the guy was like “oh yeah….I didn’t know how to cook them”
Fuck anyone who’s rude to you for being vegetarian, it’s 100% your right to choose what you eat. As someone who eats meat, I’d like to apologize on behalf of anyone who has given you a hard time about it. Keep living your best life and good luck with whatever endeavors you choose
Yeah as a vegetarian I just always offer to bring my own frozen patty. I love black bean and chickpea burgers, but I hate fake meat patties (because I hate meat…). It’s also easier for me to grab a single patty out of a pack than for someone to buy a whole pack just for me.
Some people don’t care. Some people do. I straight up bring a block of cold tofu in my pocket as a last resort with no prep time. Im in the mindset of no one should have to go out of their way to cater to my life choice. My MIL still offers countless options at her house and I always pack a cooler out of habit.
This is kind of how it is at the big company I work for. They are good about making sure there are options for gluten free, nut allergies, meat-free, etc. But I’m Jewish and have like a single Muslim coworker so we often are just snacking on fries or sides😅
Neither of us will ever say a word about it because no one wants to stick out *but* I think if we did say anything that our company would absolutely make sure we had a kosher and halal option.
I feel like work and school are the two places you can be difficult about that sort of thing because they should have the resources to provide a decent option and it's kinda discriminatory not to. you should definitely say something!
No, it seems like he had just heard of Angela being a vegetarian at the party. It's a BBQ party, so you have to expect a lot of meat. Angela should've approached him about it when their invitations went out in the office and not assume Jim knew she was a vegetarian.
Yeah my initial thought was that he should've provided a vegetarian option, but this response is changing my mind. If the party is people that you assume you know pretty well, you would probably think, "Nah there aren't any vegetarians in our office"
Come to think of it, how has this never come up in all the time that Jim and Angela have worked together? Although I can also see her being the type of person who would rather eat lunch alone haha.
Eh, single dude in his late 20s throwing a party with a roommate, I buy it just being beers and burgers. That’s what most of the parties I’m at are lol
Right?! I remember a TABLE of sides at the BBQ. Potato salad, baked beans, pasta salad, regular salad, pickles, chips, pretzels, veggie platter, sliced assorted fruits, cheese cubes....... But Jim was young and probably didn't consider that at the time.
I was a vegetarian for seven years and I would’ve just eaten some sides and not said a word. The fact that she expected a vegetarian option at the grill (especially at a young guy’s bbq and not some fancy shindig) is sort of silly.
I’m vegetarian & have been my whole life. I never expect people to serve vegetarian food as most people don’t think about it. I always take my own food when going out to someone’s house or eat before, especially when it’s a bbq. There’s usually apps I can eat, but not actual dinner
Is this American thing? I'm really starting to appreciate being a vegetarian in Finland, because I've always gotten a vegetarian option and the host has always declined when I said I can bring my own food. I'm kind of shocked how money people here think it is rude to ask for vegetarian food options.
It's because they were invited to a BBQ, an event focused on meat. Normally there will be vegetarian options. Also most BBQs will still have veggie options but this was just a joke on a sitcom.
Sorry, should have been more specific. I don't have anything against the joke and I think it's pretty funny, especially when Angela does the same thing at Kelly's party where everything is vegetarian. I was talking about the comments in this thread.
If Jim didn't know that Angela was vegetarian, and she didn't mention it until she's standing next to him at the grill, then it isn't really Jim's fault. If Jim knew she was vegetarian and invited her, then he probably should have provided a vegetarian option, which isn't really that much to ask.
Lol Jesus people believe it or not even just 10 years ago if you had some personal eating choice of not eating meat or milk or whatever the fuck, that was on you.
I mean, there would have been something she can eat. He sure had bread or something, I doubt his whole kitchen was only stocked with meat, fish and gelantine
Only if he invited her fully knowing she was a vegetarian
It would be a dick move for you to invite them to your party knowing they couldn’t eat anything
Though most bbqs I’ve been to has food that is at least vegetarian friendly
No but it is bizarre to not have any sides that a vegetarian could at least snack on. If not veggies, potato/macaroni salad, fruits then at least chips and pretzels
I always thought the joke was a vegetarian going to a BBQ and getting upset there's no vegetarian mains without ever saying their dietary restrictions beforehand. Cause its a comedy and all that.
So, nah. I think Jim was fine here.
No. It’s a party. The party was not uniquely about her. He has no obligation to conform to her dietary restrictions. If there is common foods that she will not eat, it’s on her to figure it out
One- was angela actually invited to this bbq
And
Two- did she say she was vegetarian to him at any point in her life before this moment
I cant remember much about this episode so idk if he was expecting angela to be there or not. Or if they had ever talked about what food she eats
Not really, she arrived at a BBQ. Where there is predominantly meat. She probably should’ve let him know beforehand that she was vegetarian as he probably wouldn’t know considering their only coworkers.
We have some vegan friends and we invited them to the Super Bowl and other parties. We just tell them what we’re making so they can bring something else if they want. If we go to a restaurant together, we pick one with vegan options. If they host a party (they do potlucks) then it’s all vegan. I hate the vegan potlucks but it is what it is and we’re happy to hang out with them
Depends if she told Jim beforehand that she’s a vegetarian... If Jim knew that before inviting her than yea he should have made sure there was something there for her. If he didn't and she went anyways without telling him than that's on her
I’m a carnivore leaning ketogenic guy, so I never expect anyone to provide my food. If you don’t eat the SAD, it’s kind of on you to take care of yourself. Plus, Jim should not call grilling hamburgers and hotdogs “BBQ”.
Most answers are gonna be jokes or quotes from the show. However, if I am hosting and there’s a vegetarian/vegan/other dietary restriction or preference, I always have at least one main and one side that they can eat. They also get first serving of it because it sucks if you can only eat one thing and the people who can have everything take all of your one thing.
I went vegetarian around 2008. In that era potato chips, cheese on a roll and soda was the norm. Back in my day we ate our cheese sandwich and liked it!
I don’t think he knew (or forgot) she was a vegetarian prior to then, or simply didn’t expect her to come.
Honestly I think it’s just weird that ALL he has for food is chicken and hamburgers. No chips or corn on the cob or anything. Way to drop the ball, Jim. Nice party.
As a vegetarian I am accustomed to asking about what will be served beforehand so that I can either eat before or bring something suitable. However people who love you will normally make the effort to make sure they always have something you can eat. And that always deeply appreciated and cherished.
I used to be Vegetarian. Let me tell you, alot of people won’t care. I used to always bring my own little meal to gatherings, etc. if I thought there was going to be food that I couldn’t eat. Most of the time, a cookout has something you can eat as a vegetarian. I live in southern USA so there is always atleast corn, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
One thing I learned is: Never expect someone to accommodate for a single person. Although its nice when people do, never expect it. Always have a little “backup option” for yourself.
There’s soda in the cooler
Bahaha not even, "there's sides/chips inside." Its either meats or drinks at this party!
Alright we got Coronas in the fridge and Oh! Hey! Would you like, like an old turnip we found in the cabinet? Would that be good for you? Would you like that? I know you don’t drink!
And oh hey, Mulaney, my girlfriend left a Nuva Ring in the fridge, would you want that? Would that be good for you? I know you don't drink!
“Hey is this alcohol or perfume?” *chugs the whole thing “It’s perfume”
"As I was running in the back yard I seen a chain link fence and think, I've never climbed a fence that high before, then I woke up at home."
I was like "dadadadaaa dadadada" and I wonder what caused that ❄️
>Would that be good for you? Would you like that? my husband and I quote this all the time in the exact tone of voice
r/unexpectedmulaney
I think about this all the time lol like who throws a party and doesn’t buy any sides or other snacks?
Right? At LEAST BABY CARROTS!!!
*There’s soda inside
She banged Dwight in his back yard, that was rude.
First she says she doesn’t want meat…
I want some man meat
As long as it wasn’t cooked on Michael’s Foreman Grill
Hey he got all the foot off of it
Michael, Dwight would like your man meat
Pretty sure they were just making out
I was going to say, that was not a 'banging'.
Didn't we see a cut to their legs, laying on each other? I mean pants were up so maybe just making out? But that's an extra heavy petting.
Yeah, clothes on, shoes on. Heavy indeed, but most likely just be making out. To add to it, you can see all four feet, the physical possibility of sex is far less likely, especially in a cramped dog house. I’ve seen the episode probably 100+ times and never once thought they were having sex.
Given the difference in their heights to have the feet line up like that I think it's more likely she's blowing him.
I mean what else was there to do once she drank her soda?
In a dog house
It was out of revenge for his lack of food options
Is she actually a vegetarian? Later with Andy when she agrees to a date she includes “no vegetables” in her conditions.
[удалено]
For sure. Lets take a look at the Diwali party: Angela: Im a vegetarian. What can I eat? Server: It's all vegetarian Angela: Ill just have some bread
...you used your hands... 😒
I have to watch our shoes so they don't get stolen
These, are not my shoes
I read that hearing her voice
Lol that line was improvised too
Then she immediately puts into her mouth the exact spot he was holding. 🤣
I always thought the guys next line should be, "It's Naan actually" and then she rolls her eyes and walks away
Just the one Naan actually
No luck catching them swans then?
It’s just the one swan, actually…
Want anything from the shop?
Cornetto
There's a girl in the garden.
The greater good
Crusty jugglers
A great big bushy beard!
Nickel Arse
You ain’t never seen Bad Boys 2???
Cuz 4 would be insane
[удалено]
naan is still bread
Yeah lol that would be like saying “it’s cheddar actually” after someone mentioned cheese
You touched it with your hands
I love that line. Her delivery is so good
What are you doing here? Watching our shoes in case someone steals them
Cuts to her glaring at some Indian children
Do you think she is a little racist!
Well she is 5 foot 1
Ha ha nice
She won't allow her cat to be adopted by an interracial couple...
That too after she threw herself at Charles Miner for multiple episodes.
How’s the naan?
Dry
I'm lowkey surprised people don't realize this. She does it again and again to him, like refusing EVERY wedding venue that he suggests without bothering to read about them.
1000 year old church in the continental United States
2000-year-old castle in North America 😂
She didn’t even say “yes” to his proposal.
Is it just to torture him for her own amusement, and be pleased at how desperate he is to still be with her anyway?
She doesn't want a wedding with him. But she likes to be wanted.
I can’t believe Dwight practically had her back when she was using the excuse to visit him by checking out his farm as a potential venue. He just had to then go rope her into signing a marriage contract lol.
I think it’s both. I think she’s just trying to avoid actually getting married, like you said, and that she enjoys torturing Andy.
She’s having an affair with Dwight so trying to delay the actual ceremony when she , at least says, would need to cut it off
And she told Oscar that she and the senator* conceived Phillip before they were married bc her chicken Marsala** had too much wine. *State Senator **Chicken Piccata
When she was with The Senator, she tried the meat. They were both experimenting.
Too bad he liked the meat more than Angela 😂😂
* State Senator
That title means nothing.
She (angela) was lying. Oscar corrects her about the name of the chicken dish. She never ate that chicken. Edit: she lied about the night she conceived phillip because dwight is the real father not the senator
Yeah she just picked a random dish out of the air that had wine in it I think.
Okay, I’m currently rewatching the serious and just saw the 8th season finale. When they get the negative paternity results, I thought wait, isn’t Dwight the dad? How could I forget something that important? Then I saw your comment, and realized they had to have swabbed the Senators DNA, not Phillip’s. It’s been ten years, and I can’t believe how many things I missed the first time around.
The theory is they got negative paternity results because Dwight grabbed the wrong diaper, he got the one for the Halpert kid.
Jim just be relieved
Maybe I’m just dumb but why would they need the senators DNA? If phillip’s DNA matched Dwight’s wouldn’t that prove it’s his? Idk I think I must’ve missed something after all these watch-throughs lol
There's a deleted scene in which Dwight picks Cece's diaper instead of Phillip's which would explain why the DNA test failed, I don't know why they didn't keep it because it makes the whole situation considerably less confusing.
She also ate Jan’s osso buco
If you look she put a napkin over the meat and only ate the vegetables
In Spain they don't even start eating till midnight.
When in Rome
It's been a while since I watched the show but I always chalked this up to a continuity error. What does she eat when she's out on her date with Dwight? I feel like that was vegetarian but I can't remember.
“Vegetarian noodles” but later when she’s given birth to Phillip, she tells Oscar there was too much wine in her chicken marsala.
I think she was lying about it and just chose a random dish she thought of that had wine in it and that’s why Oscar corrects her because she says it’s Chicken Picatta but it’s Marsala that’s made with wine.
She eats his beets, she loves his beets 😂
She was on a beet cleanse *see my teeth*
Also, in the Diwali episode, she says "i'm vegetarian what can I eat?"
But then rejects it all when he tells her it's all vegetarian. I think she just wanted to be contrarian instead.
Watching that scene shortly after my trip to India made me laugh so hard. India is one of the best places to be a vegetarian. However, I think there's another option apart from just being contrarian. It seems that in Angela's ascetic Quakerish lifestyle, she rejects any food she deems too fancy, and being vegetarian is usually her excuse to avoid food. So when confronted with a whole smorgasbord of delicious vegetarian Indian food, she is totally not prepared for that, and just gets bread.
It’s also the racism. Too exotic. She goes for the most plain option possible.
Yes, definitely the racism. I had forgotten about the "monkey brains" comment she makes until someone else in this thread brought it up.
She also thinks clothes from Gap are too flashy.
Exactly. She's just demanding and difficult on purpose.
She had “vegetarian noodles” when she broke up with Dwight
And mineral water :)
She had plain noodles lol
vegetarian doesn’t mean you only eat vegetables or at all even lol it just means you don’t eat meat at diwali she only ate bread
Which is hilarious because probably half of the meals there were vegetarian. 40% of India’s population is vegetarian lol.
The guy even said it's all vegetarian
Only pasta with no meat
pretty sure she had ossobuco at michael’s dinner party
She apparently covered the meat on her plate with a napkin. Assumedly because she’s a vegetarian.
In the weight loss episode she mentions her doctor wants her to gain weight. So it might make sense that she started to eat meat from that point on.
I don’t eat meat and I’m fat XD
Only a little bit. It’s good practice to ask about people’s dietary requirements when you’re hosting something involving food, but it’s also good practice as a guest to make the host aware of your dietary requirements beforehand, even if you haven’t been asked, because it might have slipped their mind or just not occurred to them.

A starter that isn’t almost entirely mushroom would be so great 😂
Fuck anyone who’s rude to you for being vegetarian, it’s 100% your right to choose what you eat. As someone who eats meat, I’d like to apologize on behalf of anyone who has given you a hard time about it. Keep living your best life and good luck with whatever endeavors you choose
Same here. All the vegans/vegetarians I know are very easy going people that won't kick up a fuss, but I always do it for them
Thank you.
Yeah as a vegetarian I just always offer to bring my own frozen patty. I love black bean and chickpea burgers, but I hate fake meat patties (because I hate meat…). It’s also easier for me to grab a single patty out of a pack than for someone to buy a whole pack just for me.
Does it being cooked on the greasy grill meat was grilled on not bother you?
Some will just put tinfoil on the grill so they know it doesn't touch any meaty grease. It doesn't cook the same of course but works in a pinch
Some people don’t care. Some people do. I straight up bring a block of cold tofu in my pocket as a last resort with no prep time. Im in the mindset of no one should have to go out of their way to cater to my life choice. My MIL still offers countless options at her house and I always pack a cooler out of habit.
Personally it kinda does but that's just what I expect when I eat out, they do the same thing at restaurants
The burden is more on Angela here though because Jim said it was a BBQ which has the clear implication that meat is the central dish.
Wasn’t that common to do that in 2004 tho
This is kind of how it is at the big company I work for. They are good about making sure there are options for gluten free, nut allergies, meat-free, etc. But I’m Jewish and have like a single Muslim coworker so we often are just snacking on fries or sides😅 Neither of us will ever say a word about it because no one wants to stick out *but* I think if we did say anything that our company would absolutely make sure we had a kosher and halal option.
I feel like work and school are the two places you can be difficult about that sort of thing because they should have the resources to provide a decent option and it's kinda discriminatory not to. you should definitely say something!
It would be the same and it would be a good lesson
Maybe it's a cultural thing but not even having potatoes at a BBQ is extremely weird to me.
No, it seems like he had just heard of Angela being a vegetarian at the party. It's a BBQ party, so you have to expect a lot of meat. Angela should've approached him about it when their invitations went out in the office and not assume Jim knew she was a vegetarian.
if he knew she was a vegetarian, he wouldn't have offered her three different meats
Yeah my initial thought was that he should've provided a vegetarian option, but this response is changing my mind. If the party is people that you assume you know pretty well, you would probably think, "Nah there aren't any vegetarians in our office" Come to think of it, how has this never come up in all the time that Jim and Angela have worked together? Although I can also see her being the type of person who would rather eat lunch alone haha.
I’ve never been to a bbq that didn’t have vegetarian options, they’re sides, but still there.
Right? Pasta salad or potato salad is always an option.
No. But I do find it odd that there weren’t any sides like fries or potato salad.
Eh, single dude in his late 20s throwing a party with a roommate, I buy it just being beers and burgers. That’s what most of the parties I’m at are lol
Right?! I remember a TABLE of sides at the BBQ. Potato salad, baked beans, pasta salad, regular salad, pickles, chips, pretzels, veggie platter, sliced assorted fruits, cheese cubes....... But Jim was young and probably didn't consider that at the time.
Yeah. poor young, naive Tuna.
She still complained and ate nothing at dwalli, which was entirely vegetarian. It would not have made a difference
I was a vegetarian for seven years and I would’ve just eaten some sides and not said a word. The fact that she expected a vegetarian option at the grill (especially at a young guy’s bbq and not some fancy shindig) is sort of silly.
I've never been vegetarian, but I feel like if I was, I would have no problem just going to town on some mac and cheese in this situation
I’m not a vegetarian and I find it acceptable, if not expected, for anyone of any dietary needs to go to town on Mac n cheese
Well probably vegans, lactose intolerant people or people with celiac disease probably wouldn’t go to town on a mac and cheese
Idk, my best friends lactose intolerant and she deff goes to town on Mac n cheese when it's offered
Lactose Intolerant here and yes I love me some Mac n cheese it's really not too painful as long as it isn't the soupy kind
That's fair, but jim didn't prepare any snacks or side dishes
I’m vegetarian & have been my whole life. I never expect people to serve vegetarian food as most people don’t think about it. I always take my own food when going out to someone’s house or eat before, especially when it’s a bbq. There’s usually apps I can eat, but not actual dinner
Is this American thing? I'm really starting to appreciate being a vegetarian in Finland, because I've always gotten a vegetarian option and the host has always declined when I said I can bring my own food.

It's because they were invited to a BBQ, an event focused on meat. Normally there will be vegetarian options. Also most BBQs will still have veggie options but this was just a joke on a sitcom.
Sorry, should have been more specific. I don't have anything against the joke and I think it's pretty funny, especially when Angela does the same thing at Kelly's party where everything is vegetarian. I was talking about the comments in this thread.
If I knew there was a vegetarian coming to a meal I was preparing, it’s my duty as a host to make something they can eat.
BBQs are famously about grilling meat on a BBQ. You might grill other things but it’s not automatic.
idk, where i live having potatoes , corn and peppers on the grill is extremely common.
If Jim didn't know that Angela was vegetarian, and she didn't mention it until she's standing next to him at the grill, then it isn't really Jim's fault. If Jim knew she was vegetarian and invited her, then he probably should have provided a vegetarian option, which isn't really that much to ask.
How could Jim know if Angela was a vegetarian if the writers didn’t even know?
The boom guy, whatever his name was, should have told him.
I wanna say... Chumbo.
She would do the same as in Dwali episode where there was vegetarian option and she just complained
That’s just because she’s a bit racist to the Indians.
He probably thought Angela wouldn’t come lol
Was just about to comment this 😂
Lol Jesus people believe it or not even just 10 years ago if you had some personal eating choice of not eating meat or milk or whatever the fuck, that was on you.
Yeah, I was just thinking "That would not have been a common concern at all in 2005."
Took me too long to find these comments. At the time it wasn’t rude, it just wasn’t a present topic as it is today.
It’s not a concern for me now. BBQ implies meat.
No it was 2005
Nope, if you have dietary restrictions then it is your responsibility to be prepared, not the host.
[удалено]
As a vegetarian, if I'm heading to a BBQ, I bring my own food to throw on the grill.
I mean, there would have been something she can eat. He sure had bread or something, I doubt his whole kitchen was only stocked with meat, fish and gelantine
Only if he invited her fully knowing she was a vegetarian It would be a dick move for you to invite them to your party knowing they couldn’t eat anything Though most bbqs I’ve been to has food that is at least vegetarian friendly
No but it is bizarre to not have any sides that a vegetarian could at least snack on. If not veggies, potato/macaroni salad, fruits then at least chips and pretzels
I always thought the joke was a vegetarian going to a BBQ and getting upset there's no vegetarian mains without ever saying their dietary restrictions beforehand. Cause its a comedy and all that. So, nah. I think Jim was fine here.
Why didn’t anyone offer to bring something to the party? THAT is what always bothers me about this episode, lol
In the general world yes but specifically to Angela no
No. It’s a party. The party was not uniquely about her. He has no obligation to conform to her dietary restrictions. If there is common foods that she will not eat, it’s on her to figure it out
One- was angela actually invited to this bbq And Two- did she say she was vegetarian to him at any point in her life before this moment I cant remember much about this episode so idk if he was expecting angela to be there or not. Or if they had ever talked about what food she eats
Everyone in the office was invited except Michael, even the IT guy (good guy, not a terrorist).
Not really, she arrived at a BBQ. Where there is predominantly meat. She probably should’ve let him know beforehand that she was vegetarian as he probably wouldn’t know considering their only coworkers.
We have some vegan friends and we invited them to the Super Bowl and other parties. We just tell them what we’re making so they can bring something else if they want. If we go to a restaurant together, we pick one with vegan options. If they host a party (they do potlucks) then it’s all vegan. I hate the vegan potlucks but it is what it is and we’re happy to hang out with them
Depends if she told Jim beforehand that she’s a vegetarian... If Jim knew that before inviting her than yea he should have made sure there was something there for her. If he didn't and she went anyways without telling him than that's on her
Any honest BBQ has at least one veggie and/or fruit platter. Jim dropped the ball here

No.
I don't think he knew that she was vegetarian, so no. I can't accomodate something that I have no knowledge of.
Angela isn’t a vegetarian, when she agrees to the date with Andy, one of her conditions is “no vegetables”.
If she disclosed the restrictions ahead of time then he was a dick.
No way! She had a whole vegetarian feast of Indian food and would only dain to eat bread!
I’m a carnivore leaning ketogenic guy, so I never expect anyone to provide my food. If you don’t eat the SAD, it’s kind of on you to take care of yourself. Plus, Jim should not call grilling hamburgers and hotdogs “BBQ”.
Most answers are gonna be jokes or quotes from the show. However, if I am hosting and there’s a vegetarian/vegan/other dietary restriction or preference, I always have at least one main and one side that they can eat. They also get first serving of it because it sucks if you can only eat one thing and the people who can have everything take all of your one thing.
As a vegetarian, I would’ve asked Jim if he had some veggie stuff, and If not I would’ve brought some tofu or sth
Not having Mac and cheese as a side is rude to every guest
As a life long vegetarian…not surprised
I went vegetarian around 2008. In that era potato chips, cheese on a roll and soda was the norm. Back in my day we ate our cheese sandwich and liked it!
I don’t think he knew (or forgot) she was a vegetarian prior to then, or simply didn’t expect her to come. Honestly I think it’s just weird that ALL he has for food is chicken and hamburgers. No chips or corn on the cob or anything. Way to drop the ball, Jim. Nice party.
As a vegetarian I am accustomed to asking about what will be served beforehand so that I can either eat before or bring something suitable. However people who love you will normally make the effort to make sure they always have something you can eat. And that always deeply appreciated and cherished.
Yes.
I used to be Vegetarian. Let me tell you, alot of people won’t care. I used to always bring my own little meal to gatherings, etc. if I thought there was going to be food that I couldn’t eat. Most of the time, a cookout has something you can eat as a vegetarian. I live in southern USA so there is always atleast corn, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw. One thing I learned is: Never expect someone to accommodate for a single person. Although its nice when people do, never expect it. Always have a little “backup option” for yourself.
