[quote=Anonymous]My best friend from HS moved back to town and I am inviting her and her husband for dinner tomorrow.  I checked ahead to ask if there were any issues with spicy food or salmon, as these are my go-to dinners when I have people over because they are no-fuss and they're usually well-received:

Now I am at a bit of a loss.  I've known her 40 years so she and I can be very honest with each other and so I appreciate her telling me. She has stomach issues that keep her from spicy food, and has never liked seafood apparently.

She said she would be fine if I made the salmon and gave her a grilled chicken breast instead (I asked her, she didn't request) but I feel like I'd be making her feel bad if I did something "special" for her.  She said her husband would be "overjoyed" as salmon is one of his favorites.

Should I just pivot to something else?
