    Do you always include two types of protein per meal? What counts as a protein?

    For instance, Fri night can be fish, soup, and chicken.

    But what do you serve Shabbos day besides cholent?

    Hummus, quinoa, edamame, artichoke.

    Plenty of protein.

    More likely your meat is not kosher as compared to any of the foods I listed.

    As a vegetarian, you assume eating any meat is not kosher.

    Nope. Kosher is defined by the Torah she’baal peh. Meat can be kosher, but more likely your meat is not kosher as compared to any of the foods I listed.

    Sometimes, my wife will serve a chicken salad.

    Sometimes, the chicken is not in the mood for salad.

    “Meat can be kosher, but more likely your meat is not kosher as compared to any of the foods I listed.”

    I hope you are washing you artichokes real well. They are often infested.

    Beside which kosher is kosher. I trust an Eid Echad based on the teachings of the Torah SheBaal Peh.

    Well, if the chicken is not in the mood for salad, it does not have to eat. But it should not expect any dessert, and there will be no eating after the ????? until the next meal.

    btw artichokes are kosher if you get the pickled artichoke form “season” the company, not the store or artichoke bottoms

    Beans are a good source of protein, even when not part of chulent.

    Of course, not everyone wants multiple simmering pots sitting on the stove in the summertime (beans can takes hours to cook well), but they can be prepared earlier in the week and served chilled, too.

    Not sure if you are asking for health reasons or for some minhag that requires two proteins at a meal. Cold cuts may be from meat but with all the additives plus the seasoning it probably would not be considered a good source of protein. Shabbos morning protein would include gefilte fish, eggs/liver and some people serve cold chicken or turkey breast. I don’t know if I would consider cholent to be a good source of protein unless it’s all beans, but mostly it’s made with barley and potatoes as well.

    I ask because I served a guest a meal with only one protein (chicken), and s/he told me afterwards that they were hungry, because they’d never been to a Shabbos meal where only one protein was served.

    I’ve noticed since then that most people do serve two types.

    That was rude. If I were a guest, I would smile, say everything was delicious, and go crash someone else’s house for cholent.

    it is rude. was there not enough food? protein doesn’t fill you up, carbs do. Of course, large quantities of either will do the trick. But what kind of guest talks like that?

    Sorry, I only serve one protein, with tons of salads and perhaps a kugel or two. No one has ever walked away from my table hungry.

    Or, your guests are too polite to tell you that they’re still hungry.
