What to make for Two visiting Friends

I have two friends coming around for Tea on Wednesday.

I dont know what to make them, as one of them is very very picky on wht she Eats.

She Says "I'm quiet easy to cook for i like snacky foods ie bagettes, pancakes toasties etc.

I will either Make something for her separate, like the above and make me and my Other Friend something else, like Rosotto.

The picky friend, I thought maybe give her a Baguette and buy some Pork Steak thingys and she can have a Pork Baguette. I did thnk of Hot Beef Baguettes, im not sure if she likes Beef or Gravey yet lol, or exactly how to do it. Usually Id cheat and get some boil in the Bag Beef n Gravey but i want to be good. Is there a way to do it properley?, buy thickish slices of Beef or need to Buy a Joint of Beef, or some Beef Steaks. are they quite expensive?

Also how would I make the Gravey for the Baguettes?. the picky friend wouldnt like onions or mushrooms which I could put in it so id probs have to make a separate portion of Gravey. At present I just have Gravy Granules. any advice for potential Baguette or anything else.

god knows why im spelling Gravy with an "E".

Id probs serve some Chips for everyone too, but get this, the picky friend, she doesnt like chips sometimes because they taste of potato:rotfl:

in translation, she likes thin french fry type things. ha and Lee doesnt have a Pan to cut & Fry his own Chips

    If she likes toasties why don't you make HM Pizza with some fresh salad. You could make potato salad with it instead of going with chips. You can make the pizza in advance and pop it in the oven when they get there.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    What about a high tea for all of you? Say a selection of rolls & bagettes & hot jacket potatos or potato wedges, a selection of fillings for both teh rolls & spuds, salads, maybe some sausage rolls & scotch eggs followed by a fruit bowl & hot pudding, to make it a bit posher for evening you could add a cheese board at the end? Maybe serve with some nice home made punch which can be non-alcholic if they are driving.

    HTH;)
