You're invited to a wedding.
Do you check that you want the filet mignon, the cornish hen, or the salmon?
I usually go for the fish.

Cake, please. :D

Naturally. There are few things worse than a wedding with bad cake.
But first you need to pick an entree! :shrug:
(Unless you want the salmon cake. :shocked: )

Me too. I like chicken, but I prefer boneless.

For an entree, I'll pick those wedding mints. Yummy. :nod: :)

No way. I would have let it slide had you said chocolate covered strawberries, but mints? It's like eating toothpaste after the cap has been left off the tube overnight.

If the "beef" entre is truly filet, then hell yeah, I would go for the filet! Unfortunately, most of the time I see "beef" on a wedding menu, it has turned out to be something like prime rib. In that case, I would go for the fish.

I'm definitely talking fillet. The brides family is rich. :nod: ;)

MM...good choices and considering I'm living in a crappy dorm room in DC and haven't had food that was not out of a box or can or something all summer....can I choose all of the above? I'll take the chicken and Salmon home for later....the Filet Mignon...I'll eat first :D

I'd go with the salmon.

Give me the salmon any day. Well, the Fillet might be good, but the salmon is always reliable, where as I have to be in the right mood for a steak.

Definitely Filet. I don't have it that often, andI eat chicken a lot. I'm not a huge fan of fish in general.

In order, first the filet, then the salmon, then the chicken. I do like all 3, though, so I would be happy with any of them.

Where's the vegetarian option? I'd probably go for that. A nice pasta. Or a nicer fish than salmon, like tilapia or something.

Salmon's too oily and fatty, chicken at dinners like that are normally gigantic 1/4 chickens with bones and skin and crap, and normally they will only cook the filet/steak for everyone at the same temperature level, and I cannot handle anything under medium well.

I'm so picky!!

Are you still in shape or has this diet caught up with you?

I find salmon to be pretty reliable too, but I always think of the movie airplane where the people get sick from the fish.

I've been to weddings where other people at the table give me food off their plates because I like the food so much. So really, I guess I've found that the choice doesn't always have to matter.

I think of beef as much fattier than salmon.

The only wedding you have to go to is your own. I'll send the bride and groom a check if I like them, and eat OUT!

Salmon cakes are delish. I'll have that. Actually, my friend had a party last month for her 30 birthday (same as Stevie's) and getting her master's, and that's what the choices were, essentially. The salmon was really good. :woohoo:
Then, though I normally would've picked the chocolate brownie thing, I got creme brulee, cause i have never had it.

I never had a salmon cake until last year. It does seem that salmon is a craze in this country right now. I don't remember seeing it on so many menus fifteen years ago.

Perhaps cause people started to realize how important Omega 3 fatty acids are. also salmon has some other nutrient that only it has. Only other place besides fish to get omega 3 is flaxseed oil, and walnuts. And it is a VERY important nutrient. Fascinating, right? :laugh:

I know, it's so hard to keep up with the nutritional trends. But when i buy salmon at whole foods, i checked to make sure i was helping deplete the Alaskan ocean portion... ;) I'm glad we have the opportunity to discuss these important, scintillating issues...

My parents are friends with a woman who's really allergic to fish. We'd eat out and she'd tell the waitress in her most dramatic and loud voice: "The chef must not put fish on my plate or I'll die. If the chef uses any fish seasoning, I'll die. If my entree comes in contact with somebody else's fish entree, I'll die." By the end of the order I think the waitress wanted to kill her.

She sounds like the women that call and annoy me everyday of my life. She's not from Cherry Hill, is she? :laugh:

Having a food allergy is a serious thing but if you went out with someone to a restaurant and they loudly and dramatically went off on their allergy tangent, would you not be sort of embarassed?

My aunt has no allergy to food but she wants to know what's in EVERYTHING, how many calories (the woman weighs 100 lbs, if that), what's it made out of, etc. We're talking salad dressing...not just the actual meal. A while ago we all went out to eat and she started in on her twenty-thousand questions with the poor waitress. The rest of us had already ordered and she goes to hand the menu back to her and says, "sorry we're such a pain!" So, I look at the waitress and say, "correction. the only pain is to my left and she's sorry." Needless to say, we've not been out to dinner since :laugh:

She would fit in well in Cherry Hill, but no, she lined in the suburb I gre up in but moved to Valley Forge, same building as another pain from my mom's mah jongg set.
