If you're from the deep south, yes.
ooh, what do northerners serve?
It doesn’t matter, just make sure there is very little food but enough that the other women can give you judgy looks should you actually consume any of it.
but who eats this slop?

20 year old women don't go to "luncheons." And I'm not seeing any "slop."
What does a 20 year old woman eat?

Some kind of spring dessert - pie with ice cream, lemon bars, strawberry shortcake

This sounds delicious
Now I'm thinking Niçoise salad

I’d be very happy to have Niçoise salad.
PSA: for a Niçoise salad as Julia Child would make, go directly to Pastis near Union Market. Simple and superb.

I agree, but it would never occur to me to put out chips at a ladies lunch unless it was a picnic or bbq.

Yum. What else?
DP, I served crabcakes to a group of women last summer with the following:
Gazpacho
Green salad with vinaigrette
Orzo salad with chopped veggies
Biscuits with honey butter
Lemon chess pie
Mixed berries with fresh whipped cream
It was especially easy because everything was prepared in advance and all I had to do was bake the crabcakes for 30 minutes.
serving home made crab cakes and chess pie is a bold move.
I think the crab cakes are more of a staple, bordering on boring. Why would it be considered bold?
I'm still curious about the crab cakes.

Why "luncheon"? Which no one said except the 20-40 yr old who won't tell us what she eats.

The 20 year olds I know go to Chipotle and ChikFilA.
