Ten out of ten missionaries get fed chicken or spaghetti because it is easy, simple, makes large quantities and is perfect when you don't plan. Be creative with what meal you will serve, and don't be afraid of having peanut butter and jelly on hand, either. One family I know actually requested it as a dinner item when they were being hosted by a church family because in the last week they had the same meal 5 times, and their young boys just wanted "normal food". But yeah, want to be hospitable, ask missionaries for tips, they know what hospitality looks like.</p> Don’t serve chicken or spaghetti.
