He insisted on driving, providing all the food, booze, tickets, and paying for parking (he was also our state senator). One time he brought grinders for everyone and we'd had a bunch of beers and me and my other neighbor (a vegan) were both trying to pull the head cheese out of the grinders and dispose of it while no one was looking.
I have heard that even the Dalai Lama has eaten meat in such circumstances-out of consideration to a host.
