With summer well and truly here, many Canadians are looking forward to restful weekends on the back patio or by the lake. It has long been a Canadian tradition to fire up the grill and host a big barbeque for friends and family, and for vegetarians who are expecting to host their non-vegetarian loved ones, this often involves pressure to make sure there are some meat options available to throw on the coals.While it isn’t difficult for vegetarians to find recipes to put together a meat-lover’s feast,sourcing the meat itself can be cause for anxiety. People who do not consume meat themselves are often unsure of the best meat to purchase for their guests, and it can be especially hard for those who don’t feel particularly comfortable dropping by their local butcher shop. One of the best ways around these problems is for vegetarians to use home delivery services — fresh meat delivery options like truLOCAL can bring locally raised, sustainably sourced beef, pork, chicken, and fish to homes, offices, and cottages anywhere in Ontario.
