Tasting Shabbat Food That Contains Meat.

Tasting Shabbat Food That Contains Meat. Day: Wednesday Date: July 30, 2014 Parshat: Devarim Yalkut Yosef: 551 It is forbidden to eat chicken during the nine days the same as meat. However a person who needs meat for health purposes should have chicken instead. Canned and dried meat are also included in the prohibition. Food that is cooked in a pot normally used for meat may be eaten during the nine says even if the pot was recently used for meat. On Erev Shabbat during the nine days one may taste from the Shabbat food even if it contains meat, since tasting from the Shabbat food is a mitzvah. If one mistakenly said a beracha on meat during the nine days, he should taste a little bit so that his bracha will not be in vain. The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
