Fresh fruit is really hard if you don't know someone else's kashrus standards.
There are problems with many like blueberries, pineapple, grapes.
We don't eat blueberries at all.
Eat grape only if we know each was washed individually and checked.
Eat pineapple only if washed and cut a special way.
I could never eat it in someone's home if I didn't know how it was prepared.
It's a problem.

Apples, oranges, cantaloupe, pears….

Yes berries are a problem. I never heard of grapes or pineapple being an issue but big deal so you don’t eat it.

One of the pleasures of visiting other people is experiencing foods different from the same old same old that you make yourself. Others will never make your kind of food the same way you do and it can be disappointing.

Update: it went well. Thank you everyone for your help. My suppers were:

Zucchini soup, shnitzel, rice, salad
Minestrone soup, baked salmon (fish sticks for kids), rolls, salad
Zucchini soup, chicken burgers, salad, clementines
Minestrone soup, baked ziti, salad
One night I made “breakfast for supper” bagels, quiche, salad

Everyone seemed to enjoy, BH!

To me courses are such a Shabbos thing! But do you know what this thread is reminding of me of! The noon dinner that Mama served her girls in All-of-a-Kind Family. That was probably heimish cooking, right?

Loved those books!

1 cup rice, 2 cups water, 1 tsp salt in 9x13 pan. 4 chicken legs seasoned all over (under skin and also bottom of chicken pieces) with onion, garlic and salt. Place chicken on top of rice in pan and sprinkle with paprika. Bake covered at 350 for 2 1/2 hours.

.

If using brown rice should I adjust anything to this recipe?

It would probably need an extra half hour

I'm not heimish, but when I visit other people, I enjoy the fact that their cooking doesn't duplicate mine. Half the fun of traveling is eating something different. I would never want anyone to try to recreate what I make. It would be impossible, because every cook is unique. Even using the identical recipe, your stove is different, your pots are different, even your water is different, and that means that your outcome will be different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different.

I'd much rather eat genuine OP cuisine than copycat ME cuisine.

That is when you have guests who are open to eat other types of cuisine or different foods, styles, usually young ones that are exposed, accustomed to different types of foods.

When you have older guests, who only eat their traditional Hungarian foods and never touched different type of food, then you it wouldn't be kdai to make your regular food, that they wouldn't want to touch. Why not accommodate guests if you could. She anyways has to make supper, might as well make something they like.
If you know they are not picky and ok with trying new stuff then fine

I’m very interested in the assertion on this thread that heimish is Hungarian. There are Slovakian and Russian and Poilish chassidim too. Most of them don’t eat Hungarian food.

Am I the only who can’t imagine eating so much in one meal? We have tiny dinners around here, compared to these.

I found this thread interesting because I was expecting very Eastern European recipes. That is what I associate with "heimish" - goulash; chicken fricassee; tongue in sweet and sour sauce etc.

But these recipes seemed pretty mainstream - baked chicken; baked salmon; meatloaf. Essentially these are what I would call just plain American cooking.

This wasn't a judgment - just a comment that I never thought of these foods as heimish particularly.
