Homemade challah and dips
Salmon and gefilta fish
Eggs liver salad or cut up veggies
Cholent with kishka and a kugal like apple or cherry
Dessert

I serve the same kind of stuff whether we have guest or not. I just add a dip, salad, dessert….to my menu. Shabbos is the easiest time to have guest.

If the guest likes herring Ill put that out by kiddish with crackers and homemade cake

Depends on the week, nothing is set. Some weeks it’s meat or chicken or dairy or fish. Generally we don’t have traditional food

I make sure to put an 8x 8 pan of potato kugel (wrapped up) in my Chulent. It turns into overnight kugel and everyone says it’s very good.
I serve deli and sometimes beef jerky.

I used to serve eggs and liver after the fish and challah/dips but lately most guests say they don’t like liver so I stopped serving it.

I always make a big salad when we have guests. I don’t usually do that when it’s just us. If not salad then at least coleslaw and pickles.

Serve a good dessert (doesn’t have to be homemade) so everyone leaves with a good taste.

interesting
we never do first course shabbat lunch, only on chag (and Fri night )
I aim for two proteins (shnitsel, grilled chicken, herbed chicken, koftas etc etc
a starch, kugal for ex (if lots of guests also a starch salad like quinoa or rice salad)
I often do hummus bassar as guests love
couple salads and a hot veg (sweet potatoe wedges or ratetouille for ex)

then desert....usually 2 things or 3, cake, cookies, ice cream and or fruit.
