Bro, first get literally anything that even just symbolically represents your ancestors. And then I am fairly sure beside some proper incanation you will just rather have to focus on what you are beseeching them for. Also an offering is pretty standard in all cultures. Either burnt, cold or just simple smoke offerings too I guess. Culturally you should probably do something closer to your ancestors and not some Indian shit ofc. That's all I can think of.

I think chicken and potatoes are fairly safe with a sliced apple. (Potatoes were not introduced until the Colombian exchange but delicious plain starch is always good)

Do I consume the meal after the appeal to my ancestors?

Depends. Normally a sacrificial meal is left until it is spoiled and it was symbolically consumed. Alternatively I know that Greeks used to sacrifice the non edible part of animals like bulls but ate the edible parts. Though that was in a sacrifice to the gods rather than ancestors. Asian rituals also include pouring alcohol for your ancestor and yourself and 'drinking with them' or toasting. You can't really go wrong what's most important is focus and spiritual ability.

Asked the ancestors for help in love, spiritual strength and to protect me from people that would do ne harm and people that would cause me to harm myself.

I think I'll sit here quietly until the candles burn out and leave the meal to spoil. I will not eat tonight as this is for them.
