OK, the squash I can understand. Not one male in this family will eat squash, and the daughters are iffy about it. (I love it, and so did my mother.)

The shepherd's pie--I've never made it, because I was pretty sure that B wouldn't eat it (back then--now that he is a world traveler, he eats things I won't, but he still expects a narrow range when he comes over here!) and J would be iffy, and E doesn't like ground beef.

The crescent rolls probably wouldn't go over big here, either. Stuff on top of anything bready never did ("pasta" not being considered "bready," however).

But beef stew! BEEF STEW! What's not to like about beef stew? It has always been one thing that I knew everyone in the family would eat, reliably, and even express appreciation for. (Although I have to call it "beef soup" even if I thicken it a bit, because J won't eat gravy. Yes, gravy. He had this childhood accident involving hot gravy ...)
