One meal that seems to constantly be forgotten about  is breakfast. I always give breakfast items such as: Carton of Eggs-Package of Bacon or Sausage-Hash Browns-Biscuits-Cinnamon Rolls and Orange Juice.

Breakfast items. Great idea.

I always get some really good sliced ham and fresh baked buns so people coming in and out can have a sandwich. It seems like family gets so busy they forget to eat.

How about a pizza?

I love eggplant, both of them. LOL

I always take coffee and paper products, plates,  cups, towels, napkins,toilet paper and plastic silverware. No one feels like doing dishes.  

Anything easy to reheat, a casserole or going with the breakfast idea, a good strata (egg and meat casserole made with bread....)

Alcohol drown their Sorrow 's

fresly prepared vegetable soup.

As long as its not crossing lines culturally I dont think it matters . Different thing in different places . In California at a biker funeral some one always brought a keg . You were there and brought something its all that matters . Sorry about the loss and the sad days ,may the sun shine for you again soon .            Bill

" Lasagna with salad & french bread,also keeps well if frozen for leftovers."

a cassarole , or a BIG bowl of homemade soup. Or, bring them a big bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Believe me, they'll appreciate it. When my husb died, feeding the 5,000 was the last thing on my mind. But, my friends, John and Elaine brought me a big bucket of KFC.; So, i was able to take my elderly mother to my house from the funeral home, while the viewing was still going on. I asked my cousin and her husb to come with us; and they were hungry so we ate. We called down stairs to give some to my nephew and my neice's husband.

I believe anything you love, they might love also.  Take into account their background, religion, and culture.  Otherwise buy something already prepared.  That's what I like to do.  I go to Whole Foods and buy a couple of different salads & Whole Foods people can really cook.

i think a chili is good and anything that can be frozen like rolls home made vegie soup and of course you love and being there is the most important

Any kind of casserole that can be heated up and still taste good (in a dish - but not an aluminum tin -that does not have to be returned).

I I usually bring a couple of deli trays, a meat tray a cheese tray and antipasto you know easy food to grab , oh and fruit trays usually get eat up buy the kids. And be sure to get several types of bread. I hope this helps you out.
