We're having some friends over for lunch on Sunday. The husband is veggie, although he eats fish, but the rest of the family eats meat (wife and 2 DCs). We all eat meat and my 3 DDs are all coeliac so gluten-free.
So I'm racking my brains over what to cook - normally for Sunday lunch, I would do a big roast, which my girls love and I think would go down well with the other children too. My girls will eat fish if forced, but aren't that keen - they definitely wouldn't eat anything like a fish pie (unfortunately) and anything involving plain fish normally turns into a stressful meal.
Anyway, my question is, would vegetarians be offended if I did a roast for 8 of the 9 people there, and bought a veggie pie or something similar (a nice one, not just a greggs cheese and onion pasty or something ) which the husband can have with the vegetables everyone else will be having with the roast? Or should I do something fishy for the adults and end up doing sausages or something similar for the children that I know they will eat?
I don't want to offend anyone, but at the same time, I only have a small kitchen and one oven, so can't be doing all sorts of different dishes to serve at the same time!
