Dreaded eating out

Greek food might be a good option. Huge meat eaters, and often you don't get much rice with the kebab either.

Greek is a good call, lots of meat and fish, and sides of vegetables.

The dips and pitta, and the gyros can be avoided easily enough, and the filo pastry on some bits won't be a lot if they come out be accident.
 
I'd love to like paella, but just hate the rice element which they usually (in Spain at least) cook in fish stock. Oh thrice yuk! No idea why I find it so revolting as I like rice usually and quite a lot of seafood too. Has always put me off trying risotto. Gimme moules marinier and some nice bread to mop the liquor up with and some frites on the side. Gimme prawns/langoustines/lobster/crab but only ever squid in fine rings deep fried, not served anyway it's soft thanks. Gimme sardines, gimme any kind of white fish, or salmon, tuna, bass etc, swordfish, trout, catfish. I like liver and adore kidneys (rinones al Jerez, bostin!) but not for everyone I know. Remember a mate seeing a fish called 'rape' on a menu in Spain being intrigued by the name but chose something else instead then discovering it's pronounced 'rappay' - but by then they were back in England anyway so no idea what sort of fish it might be.

I shall blame you.
Three hours in the beach restaurant.
Smoked bass tacos, followed by paella and a lot of cava :rofl:

(Utterly amazing food)
 
Have a lovely meal out @KellySuffolk

It's not something you are likely to be doing all that often - so just make your best guesses and enjoy yourself 🙂
