make a grilled meat or chicken seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve with a chimmichurri on the side for the rest of you and the picky one can skip it!

The amount of picky eaters is insane.

OP I love Indian food. Maybe I can come instead, and all the fussy eaters can go out together?

There are seriously multiple people on DCUM who find black pepper too spicy? OMG.

OP, I would struggle too. I love to cook and it would literally pain me to make such bland, boring food for a guest.

How about hamburgers and baked potatoes? That way you could add more toppings and she could have it plain?

Ask your guest what she eats at home and serve the same.
High-quality freshly cracked black pepper is a potent spice. If you’re using the pre-ground stuff it may not be as obvious.

I know I’m a jerk because I would simply refuse to cook for these people

I am a black pepper hater. It’s not just me saying I don’t like it. Spice like that physically burns my mouth for a solid two to three days, and that’s with chugging insane amounts of water. My body itself doesn’t react well to spicy things.

Black pepper is not “spicy.”

It is to my body.

It is.
Black pepper is one of the most important spices of the original spice trades. It has spicy heat from the chemical piperine. It’s just different from the capsaicin heat of chili peppers.

Salmon, baste with melted butter and sprinkle a little rosemary and basil. Bake uncovered at 450F for about 9 minutes (until it flakes). Serve with pasta bowties/olive oil, or rice pilaf (not one with garlic or onion or anything too strong in the flavoring), or couscous and a veggie like baked aspararagus or green beans or something

Most of my family can't handle most spices and this always seems popular and delicious

I'm the person who can't eat pepper, and I would totally eat this, even though I've never had salmon before.

Why would you not have had salmon before. If your body is that sensitive to pepper ok but your diet sounds really restrictive even outside of that

“Spicy” does not refer to any spice. If that were so, tarragon and parsley would be “spicy.” “Spicy,” in reference to heat level of food, connotes a heat level above that of black peppercorn.

If someone’s body interprets black pepper as a burn and they have literally never tasted salmon, a bland fish, I have to wonder if they are fit to go into public and eat.

Yes! Train them young. My youngest had butter chicken for the first time (we are from a bland culture) and it was moderately spicy. He ate it and every bite he said "it's so spicy but I can't stop eating it because it is so so so so good!" - he discovered mango lassi as a cooldown and there is hope for him.
