The "I like meat" phrasing is mine and I tried to make it convey
"yeah, I like it, but I don't require it". Put differently,
I thought this option would actually reserve us as organisers the
right to serve no meat/fish on some nights, and this is still how
I see it, and this is something I'd actually want to do, iff the
youth hostel is willing to go along and ensure a tasty non-meat
meal.
Obviously there are people who need special care, and we'll cater to
those, no expecption.
And anyone who claims into my face that can't eat anything but meat
every day, I will personally buy burgers three times a day if they
agree to consume them bound to a chair at a table I get to populate.

As long as additional restrictions can be specified without
selecting "other".
