I had a vegan show up at a dinner one time that got pissed because there was no vegan food, like wherever he goes the host is supposed to cook an entirely different meal just for them.
If it's a good friend I'd try to accommodate them, but I think if you have special dietary restrictions beyond allergies -- which are really easy to accommodate -- that you should ask if it's okay to bring a salad or something in that vegans eat, rather than try to force the host to comply.
Like if you have a seafood allergy, I can work around that. If you're a vegan, well... That's harder to accommodate. I could accommodate a vegetarian better than a vegan.

That's because they're so friggin' militant about their diet. Heaven forbid that you (gulp) eat something that might give you a little enjoyment.
