The table is like the mizbeach when one feeds the poor at the table as the mizbeach feeds the kohanim from the sacrifice.
The Rambsm emphasizes two places the importance of feeding the poor. In Hilchas Yom Tov (6,160) he says that someone who locks the door on the poor is not an enjoyment of a mitzva but an enjoyment of his own stomach. The other one is in Hilchas Megilla (2,17) where he says that there is no more greater or beautiful enjoyment than to make the poor and downtrodden happy. According to this, mishloach manos is based on matonas laevyonim not to ashame the poor, but according to the other Rambam above the Ksav Sofer says that it is based on the sudah in order to share with the poor. The SA O’CH 647,1 finishes up with טוב לב משתה תמיד where the question is if on Purim Katan we should make a sudah? So, says the Ksav Sofer that if he has good heart to give mishloach manos, than he can also make a sudah. The SA starts with the RMA quoting שויתי ה’ לנגדי תמיד keeping Hashem constantly in front of us as a King through fear and ends by get close to Hashem through love, so I heard that this is implied in ושני תמידים כהלכתם keeping the two tamids in front of us as the SA describes or keeping the SA in front of us constantly.
