Salmon and gefilte
Eggs and liver with cut up vegetables

Often the men already had kiddush in shul and the ladies (at home) ate breakfast, so people aren't too hungry.

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.

What is chumus basar?

[quote="amother Peony"]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.

Ask your lor about Hatmana issue with burying wrapped kugel in cholent.

Why would it be an issue if it’s put in before shabbos?

hatmana is an issue even if before shabbos. needs to be a hole in bag or part of the food not fully submerged, something like that. Real halacha, not chumra

Homemade Challah, gefilte fish, two different salads- depends on what everyone wants, a bunch of dips, chopped eggs and liver, sautéed liver, cholent, potatoes kugel, and other assorted kugels, deli rolls, assorted cold cuts, shnitzels, assorted Mazza, cookies, and cake and assorted fruit for dessert. You might think this is a lot. Yes it is. We BhBh have guests all the time. Our house is an open house.

What about a pot of chicken soup containing the chicken and vegetables? The chicken and vegetables are fully submerged. The pot is covered by a lid and it's placed on a hot plate before Shabbos. Why isn't that hatmana? Not trying to argue. I have a real question.

Just googled and found this

Before Shabbat, some say that one can leave fully cooked food in a plastic, nylon, or aluminum bag in an pot of hot food (such as kuggel in chulent), however, some forbid because of Hatmana

This sounds amazing. Can you detail the meat board? Also how do you make and serve the pulled beef?

I put any meats I have. Can be deli, London broil, salami, beef jerky ect. If I do London broil I’ll make a huge London broil salad.

Pulled beef is really easy. Put the meat in your crockpot with lots of honey, soy sauce, spices , garlic ect, and let it cook low and slow for hours. Then you pull it apart with forks. Serve over yellow rice or mashed potatoes .

according to sefer where I recently learned this:
because it's one food, you want the flavors shared between them. so if you're wrapping the kugel just to keep it from falling apart, but you WANT it to be cholent flavor, then it's fine. this sefer didn't mention a case where you just don't MIND if that happens.
annonymous to emphasize that I'm an internet stranger and you should AYLOR Smile

(I don't even remember what the sefer was)

My ideal menu is as follows:

First course
Challah
dips Tri coloured roasted peppers, marinated eggplant, spicy olives, tomato dip, dill dip
salmon

Cholent with cheek meat
kishka
lettuce and grilled chicken salad with roasted sweet potatoes and sauteed mushrooms etc.
cherry crumble

Homemade cookie dough ice cream

I don't always get to it all but ideally...
