The Shabbat Meals and Shabbat Enjoyment

Preparing the Meals

Kiddush

Food-related matters

The Conduct expected at a Shabbat meal: Megillah 12b

Better to make Shabbat without special additions, rather than to have to request Tzedakah: Shabbat 118a; Pesachim 112a, 113a

Mitzvah of having three Meals: Shabbat 117b-118a

Mitzvah of having four Meals: Shabbat 117b-118a; Ketuvot 64b

Rewards and Importance of having three meals on Shabbat: Shabbat 118a-b

Having two loaves of bread, to remember the Desert Manna: Shabbat 117b

Custom to cut one loaf or both: Shabbat 117b

Eating garlic at the meal [relevant to the husband's obligation of sexual relations with his wife: Nedarim 31a

Do people normally eat more bread or less bread at Shabbat meals?: Eruvin 82b; Ketuvot 64b

Rewards for Enjoyment of Shabbat: Shabbat 118a-b

Earing a meal of turnip, large fish and garlic: Shabbat 118b

Even a dish of small chopped-up fish suffices for this mitzvah, if it is done to honor Shabbat: Shabbat 118b

Shabbat as a "special spice" for the Shabbat meals: Shabbat 119a

Enjoyment of Shabbat where it will cause Loss of Time for Learning Torah: Shabbat 119a-b

Enjoying Shabbat while waiting to bury a relative: Berachot 18a

Fasting, even temporarily, on Shabbat: Eruvin 41a

Enjoyment of Shabbat is important enough that it could override rabbinic decrees: Bava Metzia 54a

Note: The focus of Kevod Shabbat is in the preparations done before Shabbat. Odd: Rashi uses the term "kevod shabbat" in describing a gemara's concern, even though the gemara invokes the biblical pasuk of oneg: Rashi Bava Metzia 54a s.v. "b'shabbat"
