I'm going to a wedding between a Slovene and a Moldovan and have been asked to choose between fish and wild boar as my reception entre options. The Slovene family is a little richer and will be providing the white wine and likely targeting the $20-25 range, while the Moldovans will be trying to keep it under $15 for the reds. Both want their countries to make good showings so they'll bring the best of that range. I'm basing my entre choice on the wine, so should I go with the fish (pairs well with white) or boar (pairs well with red)?
