I would appreciate your input on this questioner this way I can get more of a picture what's in demand.
I sell delicious Hungarian style homemade food. I would like to know if you prefer buying homemade food or takeout food? If you prefer homemade food what would be the things you would like to buy? for example Challah, Potato Kugel, Yerushalmi Kugel etc.. Would love to hear your opinions
And would you be interested in buying healthy takeout meaning dietetic food?

I'm actually asking for the ppl that hate cooking or work and don't have the time to cook or that they find things like challah a patchka to make or they can never get it right and they really love davka the homemade challa. those are the ppl I'm targeting

If I'm buying it it's not homemade. If I make it it's homemade.

I never buy something from someone's kitchen. I need everything not cooked in my home or by my family and friends to have a hecksher

No. If I'm not baking I'd rather buy from a bakery .

No, because a small-batch homemade-style challah is sold in the regular grocery store (the woman uses a local kosher restaurant kitchen to make her challah recipe), so I don't have to buy from the baker directly.

My MIL out of town buys challah from a woman who bakes it in her home, because their community is small enough that they don't have a kosher bakery.

I don't buy food that way, but wonderful DDIL sells some of her homemade challahs and cookies. I have a friend who has done that also, but this is small-scale, pin money.

If you're looking to do this as a real business, you may want a separate kitchen (do you have a basement?) and a hechscher.

I might buy homemade challah, if I knew the person selling it and trusted his/her kashrut.

I am not a kugel person, so I would not be so interested in the other foods you mentioned.

My parents bought from them for years out of their house before they were a major brand down the east coast.

My parents also buy from a women in our community who sells challah out of her house. They have been getting from her for over 15 years. No hechser but her husband was a rabbi and my parents trust her.

thanks for all your answers. I was trying to get a feeling if there is a demand for homemade food that is more delicious and less oily than takeout food, but from what I gather from the answers you gave is that there isn't a real need for such a thing

I know a few people who sell homemade food in Israel. They get a lot of business from people who come to Israel for vacation and want good homemade food for shabbos or yom tov meals.

I started my catering and consequently, the Niagara kosher restaurant after selling challah from home. BUT selling challah was a huge waste if my time. I could not ask enough to reflect what my time was worth when considering what people were willing to pay.
