[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lamb chops as main. 
Maybe a gazpacho starter. 
Definitely not stew - too peasantish.

Not everyone eats Lamb and not everyone likes cold soup. This is not a meal I would make for people whose taste I don’t know. [/quote]

Okay, so what 'would' you make?[/quote]

Not the PPs here, but I always start with asking folks if they have food allergies or aversions, then throw in a couple types of fish to see how they respond. I just did that last week (see another thread) and learned that everyone would eat grilled tuna, but one person did not eat salmon prepared in any form or fashion. Nearly everyone answers honestly once they have some prompts.

DH does not eat red meat so it is nearly always chicken or fish unless we go for steak/salmon.

Two poultry dishes I love are Silver Palate Chicken Marbella and NYT Provençal Chicken though both feel more like fall/winter/early spring dishes. I then serve Israeli couscous as a side - maybe tossed with lemons/parsley or lemons/parsley/sautéed cauliflower). Then a large salad - maybe arugula/endive/toasted walnuts/pomegranate arils (seeds). Dessert might be a bread pudding, a galette, etc.

I love gazpacho, lamb chops, and stew. The first seems fine for a summer meal while the latter two would be included in my prompt. Well, only the lamb chops. I doubt I would serve stew save to good friends. [/quote]
