Which menu would you prefer as a guest?

Question

We're tossing around several ideas that all sound good but can't really decide on what to go with.

Option 1 (Southern food):

Chicken fried steak

Fried chicken

Mashed potatoes

Mac & cheese

Cajun rice

Hushpuppies

Buttermilk biscuits

Sweet iced tea

Option 2 (Mexican)

Fajitas (choice of beef or chicken)

Tacos

Refried beans

Spanish rice

Chips & salsa

Horchata

Margaritas/daiquiris/coladas

Option 3 (American diner):

Pot roast & mashed potatoes

(something else yet to be decided)

Answer 1

Option 2- you can make mexican food classy and themey- however there is nothing classy and elegant about hushpuppies and biscuits- delicious but not for a wedding

Answer 2

I may be a yankee but...I choose option one.....

Answer 3

while I think the last one would be the most classym the first sounds most delicious and weddings are about decadence hun! go with the bad@ss fry foods! XD darn, now I am hungry >.>

Answer 4

number one all the way    

number 2 is no good unless you or your husband  to be are mexican and there will be alot of mexicans comming to your wedding

number 3 ...pot roast ?? really at a wedding????

Answer 5

Southern Food definitely. YUMMMM  Mexican fodd is good but too messy, for a wedding. And you can't beat Southren Food.

Answer 6

I'd go for option one, I don't like mexican food

Answer 7

I love fried chicken but think that could get bad for a wedding (greasy fingers).   Kind of the same problem with tacos and fajitas, though.  Since you are offering something you can eat besides finger utensil options with the first one (chicken fried steak) I may go with that.  Pot roast doesn't sound quite as tasty.  

Answer 8

I am a farm grown country girl...I would say 1 or 3. There are a lot of people whos stomachs can't handle spices....?

Answer 9

I think I'd prefer option 3.  

Please add some veggies to your menu, whichever choice you go with.  Otherwise your guests will fall asleep halfway through the dance.

Answer 10

Definitely #3.  

#1 -- too much fried food.

#2 -- I like, but not really a good idea for lots of guests.

I would much prefer #3.

Answer 11

Definitely the first sounds really appetizing. And like comfort food. :)

Answer 12

Option #1 :]

Answer 13

I like the first.

Answer 14

One looks great, or three is fine, too.

Maybe for late lunch you could do Mexican fingerfood things...

Answer 15

They all sound good, but the first menu sounds really great!  People can be kinda finicky when it comes to mexican food, so I think fried chicken and the accompanying side-dishes would be a better crowd-pleaser.

Answer 16

definitely the first one...

the second one is a really bad choice...people will be walking around farting...lol

  

Answer 17

option 3.  someone on low carb is going to have a hard time with the others.

Answer 18

Oooh, number one sounds delicious!! Can I come?? JK

Congrats and Happy Marriage!!

Answer 19

The first one is the crowd pleaser, good for any season. I like the mac and cheese option, for people that might not like the meat, mac and cheese is a main dish in many households. And there is the cajun rice for the adventurous. I would add a veggie or a fruit option though, that is a lot of starchy foods. Sounds good though, I'm a starch kinda person.

I wish we knew more about #3, most people like pot roast and veggies and mashed potatoes.

Answer 20

I know I wouldnt do american you can get that any time for a wedding you should do mexican

Answer 21

Option 1 is your better bet. If there will be children at this wedding they will definitely enjoy this menu more. also with the second option you would have the trouble with people maybe having acid reflux disease and this menu while enjoyable at the time will later cause major discomfort. The third choice is too simple and is more of a rehearsal dinner then a wedding reception.

Answer 22

definatly #1

it has something for everybody. its got fried chicken, which pretty much everybody likes. mashed potatoes, which is a very homey food. it has something a little more adventures in teh cajun rice. and its got something for the kids with mac & cheese. although i would add another beverage cause not everybody likes tea.

i know your going to add more to 3 but so far it sounds good also.

Answer 23

2.  I'm just weird, though. ; )

Answer 24

I like the second one.. the Mexican food sounds great, and pina coladas and margaritas are two of my favorite drinks!!  

Answer 25

I like the first one the best.  :-)

Answer 26

The first choice sounds great!

Answer 27

The first one
