Is It Rude To Bring an Alternate Vegetarian Dish to Dinner? Good Questions

Q: My husband recently became a vegetarian, and although I’m adjusting pretty well in our daily cooking I’m not sure what to do about Christmas dinner with the family. We’ll be at a relative’s home and I know they’re ordering a turkey dinner from a gourmet grocery. No one else in the family is a vegetarian.

Is it rude to bring an alternate main dish for him? I’d hate to make our host (who is over 90 years old) prepare a separate dish. Also, what are some suggestions for his meal? I’d hate for him to have a microwaved Boca Burger while we’re all eating a special meal.
