If you are having a meal catered

[Anonymous]

We are hosting a Rosh Hashanah gathering for the first time. I expect about 16 to 20 people.

We are having the event catered and the place we are ordering from sells meals (appetizers, sides, entree dessert) in units of 4. Would you get 4 or 5 of the same entree or 2 or 3 different entrees?

We plan to serve buffet style.

Also, which of these would you and your kids be most likely to enjoy?

Brisket

Roast chicken with a citrus glaze

Roast salmon with a honey glaze

We will also have kugel, which could be a side or a vegetarian entree, although I am pretty sure we don’t have any vegetarians on the list.

Brisket and roast chicken seems to appeal to the most people. I would pick 2-3 entrees so there is a choice. I would offer kugel in case there is someone avoiding meat.

Are you sure it’s packaged as a meal, or a single container to serve the number of people you tell them? I might get two different entrees.

If it’s definitely packaged as if for a buffet. I just mean that everything is in multiples of 4. So I could buy enough brisket for 20 or I could buy enough brisket for 12 and enough salmon for 8. And the latter wouldn’t be more work or more money, as opposed to if I cooked in which case 2 entrees would be twice the work.

We will definitely have kugel because my own children love it, but in the package it is sold as a “side”.
