Vegetarian Etiquette

I've been asked one question many times, "Are you a vegetarian?"

No, I am not.  Hamburgers and filet mignons and chicken fajitas hold too dear a place in my belly.  But I do have a problem with suspicious meat.  One jugular in my piece of chicken and I can eat no more.  One piece of gristle in my steak and I have to fight the urge to keep that cow down.  Good meat is an expensive endeavor, so I end up with veggie meals more often than not.  In fact, I shop at Target cause they have the best, least expensive vegan selections.  I'm weird.

I was once out to dinner with four people and the two males, ironically, were the vegetarians.  I found myself faced with a dilemma - to meat or not to meat?

What is the protocol on this one?  Can you eat meat when you are with vegetarians?  It almost feels disrespectful if you do.

I ended up ordering chicken and feeling guilty the whole time.  What's a girl to do?
