Translation: Sefaria Community Translation. Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.

1. 1The Sequence of the Shabbos Morning Meal, 2 Seifim: The table should be set, the couch on which one eats should be spread in an attractive manner, and a cloth spread over the bread, as was done for the night meal. One should bless the wine with Borei Pri HaGafen, which is called Kiddusha Rabbah. Afterwards, one should wash his hands (see Siman 271, Seif 12 in the Rama) , breaks the two loaves of bread (Lechem Mishneh) like at night, and then feasts. This kiddush must also be in the location of the meal, and one may not taste or eat at all prior to it, like with the night time kiddush. And if one drinks water in the morning before praying, it is permitted, because the obligation of kiddush does not yet apply to him. Rema: See above for all the laws of kiddush, Siman 271, 272, 273.
2. 2In a place where wine is not readily available, liquor and other drinks, except for water, are considered significant (Chamar Medinah), and one may recite kiddush over them. If one does not have even liquor and other drinks, one may eat without kiddush.
