we’re having some family over for dinner in a couple weeks and i’m having trouble trying to pull together a menu… would love some suggestions!
out of four people, one person is a vegetarian who will eat anything as long as it doesn’t have meat which is normally pretty easy to work around, but harder given that one of the folks is a very picky eater. from what i can tell, he generally doesn’t eat most fish or most pork, doesn’t eat a ton of vegetables, doesn’t like sharp cheeses, prefers food bland, dislikes most “exotic” spices. foods i’ve seen him enjoy are spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, and mashed potatoes and lightly salted chicken breast.
given all this, do folks have any suggestions? i’m having an especially hard time because i cook a lot of asian food and basically most asian spices are off the table. italian might be okay though. thanks!

If you’re used to cooking asian foods, you could try something like curry rice with hamburger steak for the meat eaters and croquettes for the vegetarians. It’s not at all spicy (actually, it’s often pretty sweet).
You could also do some kind of donburi like soboro-don (ground pork and egg), and tempeh for the vegetarians.
