But we don't plan to serve a full lunch to 200 people. I am making many compromises for this bar mitzvah. I usually serve melon or grapefruit as an appetizer for lunch, depending on the season. Miriam figures that since her kids sit at the table for a limited amount of time anyway, so it may as well be for the main course. Betzalel, I agree with you.

First of all: what do you usually prepare (or should I say 'prepared'?) for appetizer in Shabbat? I find it's much better to eat lunch after kiddush. You will eat food prepared for Kavod (Honoring) Shabbat with Oneg (Joy of ) Shabbat because you won't be full and then you probably won't have so much leftovers! I also think one person in Shabbat should eat the 3 meals with appetite. As far as I know appetizer is not one of those and you might end up lose the appetite with 'minor' foods/junk food as chips, cookies, crackers, dried fruits, ice cream, soda... and even Baileys - did you know some people use it for kiddush? :) What does Miriam, and Hanna, think about appetizers exactly? Thank you! Miriam’s approach is interesting.

It will be ground turkey, eggs, flour or breadcrumbs, herbs and other seasonings. I updated the post with a link to the recipe for the quiche: http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/kgk/0999/quiche.html My neighbor the caterer offered to come over and make the cholent. I forgot to mention beans, those are the things she told me to buy, and seasoned just with paprika. Spices don't keep their flavor overnight anyway.
