My Mom passed away 12 years ago, so I see this dilemma in somewhat a different light.

Not really. My dad passed away a bit over a year ago and Mom’s 88 so I savor the opportunity to have a meal with her–any meal. And of course we’ll go where she wants (we had a previous thread about this that got rather nasty and I argued through it all that sometimes you do have to compromise on these things).

Truth is, assuming they have it, I’ll probably go for spaghetti and meatballs. I’ve loved S&MB since I was a kid and I can accept a wide spectrum of variation (I prefer if the meatballs have actual meat in them rather than "textured vegetable protein" though). And lots of cheese can cover a multitude of sins (if it’s decent cheese).
