In the line of my previous question:

A dish for many persons at once, but I would like something a bit archaic.

"Repast for the masses"

Not archaic, but sort of a mild play on words (masses here meaning a group of hungry diners). Just a suggestion.
Peer comment(s):

agree Dorene Cornwell : Actaully, sounds like repast for after mass, but that's a different play on words :-)

entrйe/feast/main dish for a (hungry) troupe of diners

entrйe for a troupe of diners
main dish for a troupe of diners
feast for a hungry troupe

"dish" is pretty silly to see on a menu, though. it would probably be easier to handle if you knew what was that bluyda entailed. a stew? a platter? a stuffed pig?

Sharing Platters

Or, platters for sharing.

Though I have seen this in a mainly modern context (generally when out on the town), I think thatm to me at least, it has a slightly old-fashioned flavour.

dinner for the whole crowd--see comments

I would rather have more context because several variants come to mind:

Dinner for a whole crowd.

Dinner for the whole family.

Enough to feed a whole crowd.
