Miss Manners: Friend’s vegan cakes are ruining my birthday
A reader writes to Miss Manners about a recurring problem: a vegan friend who converted her husband keeps showing up with an oversized, unappetizing vegan cake that spoils the reader’s birthday, despite their regular monthly dinners at mutually chosen restaurants.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: We have a recurring monthly dinner date with another couple at restaurants mutually agreed on. She is a vegan zealot, and this was not a problem until she converted her husband, who previously considered deli meat eaten over the sink to be a delicacy.
