Holy Christ she must have been freaked as to what to do!
In my pre-vegetarian days I'd be offered fish and would try to down it. Sometimes at guests places. I would finish about half before giving in to vomiting. I'd usually just stop and be honest and say it wasn't my favorite.
Now, many of my friends are veg and my girlfriend is too, so it's not often that I come across a steak. One time I went to my grandparent's house and they didn't understand what vegetarianism is. They understood that I chose not to eat meat, just didn't think it was a serious choice. So my grandma comes into the dining room saying "GUESS WHAT I COOKED YOU?" with a large grin on her face. I said "what?".
"MEAT!"
"uhh..I choose not to eat meat"
"YEAH WELL YOU'LL HAVE TO NOW"
"ummm..."
It was pretty awkward. My brother said he would eat it. Then everyone was happy.
