Wedding meal

A good get out for you then,overthehill and I agree it's a strange choice of wedding food. A lot of older people won't be able to eat it [or won't want to] neither will a lot of children.

Do they have the wrong address? Someone somewhere may be wondering whether they want a curry meal enough to impersonate you.

I am sorry but if the invitation was 'supposed to be sent no fewer than 3 times' but has not...it never was coming.

Certainly not. The invite is a mystery apparently it was supposed to be sent to us no fewer than 3 times and did not arrive. You see our friends are not in charge of the invites, the girl and her parents are. I am guessing they had a certain number they could invite and we exceeded that. I quite understand you can't go on forever. And to be truthful it is right on top of Christmas plus we will only know our friends and their immediate family, so without putting too finer point on it, the curry offered a lifeline if you get my meaning.

Yes if it is Indian/English wedding you would expect the sort of fare you describe. I do not doubt it would be delicious, but DH is very set in his ways and he will not budge. We have explained to our friends it is best we do not go as he will refuse to eat it and cause embarrassment so we will wish them the best from afar.

Well if I went I'd have to leave some sarnies in the car !!
I totally agree, their wedding, their choice. I just can't eat anything remotely spicy not even salsa. DH however, would be in his element.

'Curry' gets a bad press and many people ( not me) dislike it perhaps because they distrust it. But 'curry' is a catch all term for all sorts of wonderful dishes and is truly the best way to cope with meat eaters/ vegetarians/vegans at a function. The best wedding breakfast I ever had was at an Indian/English wedding where the food was prepared by the Indian grooms family. It was Southern Indian and did not taste of 'curry' powder, was a beautifully presented and delicious buffet of lentils, vegetables, tofu and all sorts of things, and was so delicious that even the most conservative eater loved it and didnt realise until afterwards that there was no meat. the yukky stinking curries that we can buy at supermarkets bear no relation at all to wonderful Indian food with all its variety.

I am with you on this one over the hill, although I don't mind a mild curry I draw the line at having my posh outfit smelling as if I had done a shift at the local take-away.

Sounds like you're more peeved about not receiving an invitation than having to eat curry.

Course you can, overthehill!

Can we come to your sons wedding instead please.

You see they have considered not everyone would appreciate the hog roast (we would) and have offered alternatives.

Sausage and mash yes.

See your point about the chicken but DH would rather eat rubber chicken than curry.

Generally there isn't a choice though at weddings like there would be in a restaurant so usually the safe option is the way they go.

My son and fiancée have decided on a hog roast outside and vegetarian meals for those who want them for the wedding breakfast, then a hot buffet in the evening with sausage and mash, and different big pies. The three layer cake is going to be fruit, chocolate and 'a surprise' for the top layer. The mind boggles!

I'll go in your place overthehill

I've mentioned before that friends of ours are renewing their wedding vows and then taking over an Indian Restaurant. I'm not convinced about renewal of vows services but I will overcome my reservations on this occasion!

I'd be delighted if curry was on the menu - a welcome change from the usual rubber chicken!

My DD had sausage and mash!
