You can tell everything by observing a kiddush.

The people scarfing down herring and kichel are chassidish

The people with a cup of vodka in each hand are Lubavitch

The litvak is the one with cholent and kugel on his plate, but waiting for it to turn stone cold

The ungarish oiberlanders are the ones who have their kugel on fancy plates.

The unterlanders are licking the crumbs from the kichel off the table

If there are any sephardim, which would be unusual, they are the ones being served by their wives and/or children

The yekkes are the ones who are sitting at the table with one cookie

If I missed any groups that you need help identifying, just let me know. (I purposely left out one group because they are likely to start a flame war denouncing all rw jewry if I include them. They are very sensitive)
