What do you have at your break-the-fast meal? (whiskey, bourbon, healthier)

[Walter Greenspan]

After fasting for 26 hours or so on Yom Kippur (this year, ends at sundown on Saturday, October 8, on the civil calendar), what do you have for your break-the-fast meal?

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Here's my traditional break-the-fast meal:

Two fingers of Bourbon to wake up the appetite.

Coffee and cake. Cake is typically an Entenmann's Pecan or Walnut Danish Ring.

Smoked fish platter (White fish, Baked salmon, sturgeon, sable, Greek salad, Greek olives, macaroni salad), accompanied by assorted breads (bialys, bagels, bulkies, onion board, onion rolls, Miamis) and lots of butter.

Coffee and cake.

That sounds so awesome that I may have to convert!

used to do mostly the smoked fish thing. Im trying to eat healthier, so will balance it with salad, etc. No whiskey on an empty stomach for me.

My MIL thinks anything more than soup is too heavy for break the fast.

You miss the burning sensation as the whiskey passes through the esophagus and slides down the gullet.

It does reignite the appetite.

My usual Yom Kipper break-the-fast meal starts off with tea and cake/tea biscuits. Then I usually have meatballs and spagetti and if I have available chicken soup.

Peanut butter and saltines...so tasty with coffee
