Suggestions for a Yom Kippur party please

[hungryinmanhattan]

My relatives begged me to have a Yom Kippur party because they love my cooking (which is very sweet). I have no idea what to make. I can cook almost anything. I really do not have any idea what some typical dishes might be. We are not kosher at all, so I am open to all suggestions.

I would say anything cooked by my mother-in-law. That should be atonement enough for anybody.

My menu for Friday - pre-fast - for about 15 people - split pea soup, stuffed cabbage, chicken mirbella, kasha, broiled salmon, hasselback potatoes, roasted cauliflower, broccoli, and brussel sprouts, and dessert - applesauce, assorted cookies, fruit and if I am up to it - a coffee cake.

If it is post fast traditional items include a sweet Luckshen or noodle kugel, quiche, egg and challah souffle, bagels and lox -

Are you going to do a pre-fast meal on Friday night or a break fast on Saturday? Break fasts tend to be much lighter.

[magiesmom]

actually not always. In our circle we find the fast easier of we eat lightly before and then eat more at break fast. I wouldn't really think of either as a party.

See, my family's always been the other way around - a big meal beforehand and then a lighter break fast.
