Food For Thought Puzzle

Some of you requested for this to be posted on the blog so here goes :)

The Puzzle
Six married couples had agreed to meet and have a meal together at a local restaurant. They were Tom and Jane, Peter and Christine, Mark and Susan, Andrew and Elizabeth, Fred and Vera, and Roger and Kerry. Roger was delayed by a problem at work and he did not arrive until the others had ordered their meals.

On that day, there were twelve dishes on the menu and, amazingly, each of the eleven people present chose a different meal. They decided to order the odd one out for Roger, believing that he would be happy with the choice.

To tease him for his lateness, the others said that Roger must pass the meals to the correct people without being told directly what they had chosen. To help Roger, they gave him clues. Roger himself made it clear that he favoured a meat dish but he did not want anything cooked ‘exotically’.

Based on the clues given and the description of each dish, can you work out which meal each person had and can you say whether Roger was pleased with what had been ordered for him?

The Menu:
1. Trout Vin Rouge - Trout cooked with mushrooms, herbs and red wine.
2. Mixed Grill - Chopped pieces of steak, liver, bacon, sausages, tomato and mushrooms.
3. Madras Curry - A very hot curry with a great deal of seasoning.
4. Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding - A traditional English meal.
5. Coq Au Vin - Chicken cooked in red wine.
6. Spanish Omelette - An omelette (egg dish) containing potatoes, peas, tomato and onion.
7. Salerno Fish - An Italian dish using cod with a sauce made from white wine, garlic and chives.
8. Lamb Kebabs - Pieces of lamb, tomato, mushrooms, onions and bacon served on skewers or a bed of rice.
9. Roast Pork - Served with roast potatoes, green vegetables and apple sauce.
10. Malaysian Hotpot - Neck of mutton cooked in a casserole with mushrooms, onions and potatoes.
11. Spaghetti Bolognese - Spaghetti with traditional Italian meat sauce and served with a sprinkling of grated cheese.
12. Paella - A famous Spanish dish consisting of chicken, lobster, shellfish, onions, peppers and rice.

The clues given to Roger:
1. The two dishes from Italy were chosen by the only two people whose names contain the initial letter of that country.
2. Peter's wife does not like fish.
3. The person whose initial comes first in the alphabet had a dish cooked in red wine.
4. The person with the shortest name said that he came from Perak and that he would support his home country.
5. The person whose name contains a consonant used twice consecutively, chose a dish with that same double consonant.
6. Mark's wife is a vegetarian.
7. The person whose name contains one vowel selected a dish which is a rival to Tom's meal.
8. Mark chose a fish dish.
9. Fred's wife wanted a meal that contains rice or is served with it.
10. Jane's religion forbade her to eat any part of a pig.
11. The husband of the lady eating Spaghetti Bolognese chose a meat whose initial was the same as in his name.
