Feivel, I’m reminded of a story a friend of mine once told me.Shortly after he married, he invited his parents ( of Eastern European extraction ) for Shabbos.
His wife, an Italian Jew, prepared a meat lasagna. His parents, aghast, said who serves this for shabbos? She repkied, my family is from Rome and this is what we ate for Shabbos.
The point is, not all Jews eat kugel and chulent and gefilte fish. My brother in law is Iraqi and his Shabbos table is otally diferrent
