Can have beef at wedding, need help for alternatives

justinacho

Dear all:
I won't be having beef at my wedding because of my fiancee's religious beliefs.  I can have another meat but don't know if there is anything widely liked (and savoured) for an entree option.  Please help me!

Do you not consider chicken to be meat, or are you looking for another option?  Other meats include lamb and pork, although I think chicken is the most universally popular, so you could have chicken plus one of those options (or a fish), or just chicken.

I totally understand! My fiance is Hindu so they don't eat beef.  I wanted stations, and a typical station is a carving station.  My caterer had a great option of either a turkey carving station or a lamb carving station- we're going with the lamb.

We're considering being the first wedding ever [joke] to serve chopped (chicken) liver and ham (not together). Ham (and pork generally) are not usually recommended, as some people will eat most other domestic warm-blooded animals, but not pigs, but our guests all do eat ham.

Chicken or turkey are probably your safest options.  What about a pasta option?

I did an entirely vegetarian wedding, and aside from hors d'oeuvres, salad, soup and dessert, we had a choice of various pasta dishes. I loved the mushroom ravioli with rosemary butter sauce.

You could go with chicken and/or fish, or just chicken, or go vegetarian. If you're having a carving station, I agree that turkey would be best.
