There you go, buy a Tesco Sunday Lunch ready meal

Ready meals contain many of the ingredients she purports not to like. I wonder if you read the ingredients list on these meals you would see many of her dislikes there.

Have you though of making your chosen mince dish in two separate portions. Let her try the you like to cook but you have her own one too.

Help your self from serving dishes is always welcomed by those that only like certain foods. Saves embarrassment.

Just make exactly what you normally would for a roast dinner, put out for self-service at the table,and say "don't feel that you have to eat anything you don't like."

If she ends up with one potato and a carrot, that's her fault, not yours.

Quite agree.

I understand that you would like to cook her something she will enjoy as she is a good friend, but that seems almost impossible if everyone else is going to enjoy their food too.

If you are really scared of cooking poultry (altho don't be) then why not pick up a cooked bird the day before and heat it thru in gravy on the day

I agree with mrbadexample too.

When I used to cook for fussy kids I used to saute onions, celery and carrots then blend them to ''hide'' them in almost everything. That would make your mince tastier without adding obvious veg. The only thing is other diners might mix the texture of finely chopped veg.

I;ve merged this with the existing thread about sunday dinners, to see if you can get some other suggestions if you read back

So, do you guys have regular roasts and what are your favourites?

We ALWAYS did before DD moved out. Now its just the two of us we do have the odd "other" meal, but its still usually a roast.

I like beef & chicken, always good to get a lunch of of on Monday.

DH loves lamb, shoulder of lamb, I don't like all the bones, its hard to cut, I prefer leg.

Always have roasties & carrots & usually 2 other veg (usually 1 green & 1 other).
