[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I invite friends for dinner frequently. The meal is always some variation of animal protein (meat or seafood), starch, and a cooked vegetable. Sometimes also a salad. And sometimes two of the categories are combined, like for example beef bourguignon, which has both meat and vegetables. Obviously I’m mindful of specific dietary restrictions my guests have.

For all the commentary posted on DCUM, nobody has ever expressed any issues with this type of menu. People here are just complainers.[/quote]

This is what I do. Nobody is going to complain about a roast and mashed potatoes. [/quote]

OP here,

I have read plenty of posts where people complain that meat and potatoes is "too heavy" or that their in laws eat it in flyover country and how dreadful it is to visit them.

I'm happy to eat them any time, flyover country or not, but they are definitely something people complain about. [/quote]

I’m the first PP on this chain. I agree and have seen people on here make these types of complaints about a meat and potatoes dinner, but I’ve never heard anyone do so in real life.

I had people over last week and made lemon chicken, roasted potatoes and carrots, and a green salad. Cheese, crackers, and a homemade fish dip to start. I tried to have enough things that if one or two items didn’t appeal (or were too heavy), there was enough else to eat. But no one declined the potatoes![/quote]
