Need Help With Ideas/recipes.
I have a relative visiting soon, for a week, and she doesn't like spicy/garlicky/creamy/ 'foreign' food.
Any ideas for nice dishes which are a a bit less mundane that egg, chips and peas? I do like to make an effort when we have visitors and cannot go for a week living on Shepherd's pie, fish and chips and roast beef.
I would like to do something a bit special but there are restrictions. All ideas would be most welcome. Thank you.

Jennarry, she would detect the one clove of garlic but it's an idea for us when she's gone home. She watches me preparing the food... :-)
Patsy, she would love those.
Wolf, I didn't like to say 'foreign muck' but you obviously know what I'm dealing with. However, Curry and pizza are definitely off the menu.
Thanks for that link, Pasta. I'll have a good look, later.

Corn Beef hash with veg and gravy is a favourite, also try a Lyonaisse Salad, with a salad, croutons, bacon bits and a poached egg, yummy! Or try a cheese omelette with salad, or a breast of chicken that has been gently flattened and seasoned, fried or grilled served with salad or mash, peas and gravy. Grilled salmon with baby veg, or try a casserole in a slow cooker, chicken or pork, finely chopped veg, gravy etc, really tasty.
I have a friend like that Tilly, I'm very fond of her, but its even difficult to treat her to a meal out. I once went somewhere with her that I thought was safe and she couldnt find anything on the menu she would eat and asked them if they'd do her a cheese sandwich!
Never again will I go anywhere other than her choice!
