I say go with these choices- If anyone is wierded out by lamb, they could choose the Hallibut which I assume would please many people. I think it's great to have options that aren't so generic!
I love lamb and I also grew up in a family of fisherman so I think those choices sounds great. However I feel like I know too may people who would not eat either. Is there anyway to also have a chicken option, therefore you have fish, red meat, and white meat.
I think many people will be nervous to try lamb if they have no had it before and some people are just ANTI-fish haha BUT it is your wedding & if you and your hubby want fish&lamb then you should have it!!! If someone is absolutely unsatisfied with both choices, give them the vegetarian option.
I personally love lamp, but I know everyone does not. BUT, I think halibut is pretty mainstream, so you're covered for the people who wouldn't want lamb. I think your menu sounds delicious and covers all the bases (meat, seafood, veg).
They both sounds wonderful and I would be very happy with those choices!
@Sking: I was wondering if you did that on purpose! Either way, I laughed!
@amyisnice: No, but normally I would have edited the first post. With a miskey like that one, I had to let it stand. :)
Normally, fish would be my last choice, because sometimes I get something I really like and sometimes I get something I can't even eat. Because of the uncertainty, I avoid it uniless I'm sure I like it, But with the other choice as lamb, which I cannot stand, I'd be forced to chance it with the fish.
So, I was going to vote that you needed to add a more mainstream option...BUT then I saw you had a vegetarian option (what is it, btw?). I'd be happy with that and I suspect most others who are picky about "weird" meats would be too.
I feel like I know a lot of picky people that would go hungry with those choices. They sound delish to me, but I still think adding chicken would be good for your guests.
What is the vegetarian option? If that one is a crowd-pleaser than you are definitely safe to keep the lamb and hallibut.
I think lamb and hallibut are such nice choices, its a shame to change them if its not necessary.
Keep the lamb! It's a wedding and its a classy entree. This is your day, if they don't want it, they will get fish. There is always tons of food at weddings, people will be fine. You grew up on a sheep farm--you deserve your lamb.
Depends on the vegetarian option. I love chicken, pork and beef, but hate lamb. And I'm not a seafood eater, so those two options are both bad for me. If the veggie option is pasta, I'd eat that.
Lamb is my favorite, and I love halibut too. I think they're wonderful choices. I do know people who dislike lamb or seafood, but I can't say I know anybody with an aversion to both, aside from a few people who are cripplingly picky. You can't please everyone, though.
@Sweet Melissa: I don't like lamb or halibut, but I certainly would not call myself "cripplingly picky." That being said, I would just order the vegetarian option and say do what makes you happy.
@MissBoPeep: I agree. I'm not picky! Just don't care for lamb or seafood. I'll pretty much eat any other meat, pasta, etc.
@Jenn23: That's a great idea, having the vegetarian option be pasta! Thanks! I think that that could satisfy the people who don't like either of the options!
Thank you all!! I certainly wouldn't consider people who don't like seafood or lamb to be picky eaters--they're both fairly acquired tastes I guess!
As long as the vegetarian option is something hearty and mainstream, you'll be fine with lamb and halibut as the other choices. Yay for choosing something original over blah "wedding chicken".
@AJ_boston: I'm the only one in my family that doesn't care for seafood. I wish I did enjoy it! And lamb just isn't my thing. But I love pasta. I think that is a "safe" choice. :)
When I read the title of this thread, I was immediately going to vote "no" because I do not care for lamb. After reading your post however, I voted yes. I love your personal touch on the menu, and feel that, for guests with tastebuds like mine, the halibut/or vegetarian option would be great.
personally i hate lamb and i wouldnt eat the fish so hubby will be happy, he gets to eat two meals
I love both lamb and fish, and I can't think of anyone I know that wouldn't eat one or the other. I say go for it!
Haha, I think you are fine. Especially since your vegetarian option is "safe". I think your choices are great and find it weird that people are picky about food.
mmm lamb. if they don't like, they can eat something else. it's your wedding.
I don't like lamb or halibut so I would probably take the vegetarian dish.
As long as the vegetarian dish is something filling (like a pasta or rice dish) and not just vegetables on a plate I think your selection is fine.
I am having lamb as well. My entire family love it and we compromise over a 3rd of my guest list. Go w/ the lamb, halibut, and have veggie primerva(sp?)
I decided to have salmon, lamb, and chicken. I confirmed w/ all of my veggie guest if they would prefer salmon or pasta, salmon won.

Hi everyone!
We are only able to offer 2 options for our meal (as well as a vegetarian option). We've picked:
- Roasted Halibut (Fiance is an avid fisherman and HUGE seafood fanatic)
- Rack of Lamb (I grew up on a sheep farm)
The choices are very reflective of our personalities, and I think people like the personal touch. (And it really only works if both of our "picks" are on the menu) Also, the dishes are delicious!
But are these too non-mainstream? Should we be choosing a chicken or beef option? I don't want anyone to be unhappy with the food.
