I am making my mum dinner for her birthday and have : Garlic and lemon butter prawns as a teaser. then Chilli, tomato and mussel soupy stuff with crusty bread as a entree, Eye fillet as a main and cheesecake for desert. i need some ideas for a non seafood teaser and entree as there are people going who dont like seafood. google isnt very helpful. any tried and true ideas would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Perhaps: Melon cubes or balls with mint and ginger; or tomato juice cocktail (with a little fine-chopped spring onion & lemon juice) as an appetiser. Pate and thin toast as an entree. [cg's Mom]

Thanks Countrygirl :) picky eaters make for difficult planning. didnt even think of melon balls.

do the same soup for them but without seafood, could have chunks of fresh tomatoe in instead, the teaser could be hummus and pita toasts with seasame seeds on, easy as to make but tasty and a crowd pleaser

i thought about doing the same soup but im making it quite spicy and garlicy and my grandma cant have either :( might lose the prawns as the teaser and have the hummus toast , then the prawns or chicken . then the beef.

hmmm this is actually an annabel langbien recipe, i havent tried it with tinned toms, but its a seriously good soup
Fred’s tomatoe soup Great hot or cold 1kg of ripe tomatoes Large clove of garlic peeled and chopped 1 tbsp sugar 2 handfuls of basil 1 tsp salt and black pepper 1tbsp balsamic vinegar 100ml of fruit olive oil Skin the tomatoes then blend everything for cold soup, I put everything in a pot and cooked for 40misn then blended it, I like the seeds in but up to you if you wanna sieve it – this is the nicest ive tried and so simple.
