I did a veggo stint years ago to test it out for myself (and some health reasons). Went over to a relatives for a bbq and only ate salad, rice and other sides. Didnât complain, just went about my day.
The host noticed and made a massive thing out of it (there were like 20 people, so he wasnât cooking just for us) and kept pestering my why Iâm going vegetarian. I was replying politely that itâs a personal choice etcâŚhe kept pushing, so finally I said Iâm only vegetarian at his place, cause he cant grill for shit.
No more questions after that.

very poor manners on his part
we should only look at our own plate, not at what others are having
And then to say something and make a scene, so very rude. Your response was spot on.

Yeah that side of the family has zero manners and consideration for others. Thereâs also the whole thing of the older generation always being right. I donât play that shit, and happy to confront them.
Safe to say we donât get invited often, but weâre not missing out.
