Since the town I live in right now does NOT have any vegetarian restaurant, the best I can do is to order veggie dishes in regular restaurants, and many do cater to my request. As long as it does not taste "fishy" or "meaty" I am ok with it.
I guess I am the lucky one with colleagues and friends. Though most of them are non-vegetarians, they often order ALL vegetarian dishes for all of us so that I can have a variety of dishes too. When we get together for our cooking club, which is similar to a potluck where everyone contributes one dish, it always turns out to be an all-veggie feast! For some reason, I never asked them to go vegetarian, but they just did that out of their sensitivity and kindness. I hope that more people would have positive experience with dining with their friends:)
