    Hi Bees,

    We're starting to think about our dinner menu, which will have three different options. The first two will be a vegetarian option (pasta) and a fish (either trout or salmon). Other than these two, we can also choose either a beef, chicken, or pork option. Which would you prefer for that third option---beef, chicken, or pork?

    Chicken.  A lot of folks don't eat red meat.

    I vote Steak. There are plenty of choices if people don't eat red meat- and chicken is usually such a bland option unless you get lucky.

    I love steak but agree that a lot of people don't eat red meat or fish.  Chicken's usually a safe choice.

    We're doing Beef, Fish and Vegetarian Pasta. So of course I"m going to vote for beef. I dont like chicken at weddings. But it really depends on your guests. I know mine would prefer beef and fish over chicken or pork.  For me its all about the good food...so just choose what you love, and do your tasting and figure it out! heheh

    Either chicken or beef. I wouldn't choose pork. On my wedding we had beef and turkey.

    No love for pork, huh? :) We were leaning toward pork for our final option, but looks like we might need to reconsider given the poll results. Super helpful everyone; thanks for your opinions!

    I'd vote steak since that is generally a crowd pleaser and most people would be thrilled to eat it. Chicken in a banquet setting has the reputation of being dry and/or undercooked (very dangerous) because it is impossible to properly cook in mass quantities. Pork is great too.

    Keep in mind that what folks here eat (or don't) is not representative of what your guests will enjoy. You know them best so pick what you think they will enjoy.

    Ember78: Exactly.  In the end we'll do what's best---just wanted to poll a 'random sample' of folks b/c we were curious what most people would choose. We've narrowed it down to beef or pork and don't really need to make the final call for another couple months. Thanks again ladies!

    Oops, meant to say "...we'll do what's best for our guests." Ha!
