#One should try to eat bread for [[Melava Malka|melaveh malka]],<ref>Mishna Brurah 300:1 says that the gemara seems to imply that one should eat bread at this meal just like the other meals of shabbat, and that one should beautify the meal with some meat or other nice dishes. In shaar hatziyon (s.k. 2) he brings three proofs from the gemara that one should have bread. | #One should try to eat bread for [[Melava Malka|melaveh malka]],<ref>Mishna Brurah 300:1 says that the gemara seems to imply that one should eat bread at this meal just like the other meals of shabbat, and that one should beautify the meal with some meat or other nice dishes.

(1) the language of the gemara shabbat 119b is לעולם יסדר אדם שולחנו במוצאי שבת - a person should always organize his table on motzei shabbat. The verb "לסדר" seemingly implies a full meal. | * (1) the language of the gemara shabbat 119b is לעולם יסדר אדם שולחנו במוצאי שבת - a person should always organize his table on motzei shabbat.

(2) the gemara right before this one states that לעולם יסדר אדם שולחנו בערב שבת - a person should always organize his table on erev shabbat. This is certainly referring to having a meal with bread, as the Friday night shabbat meal must have bread. Thus one should assume that the same phrase applied to motzei shabbat would also imply a meal with bread. | * (2) the gemara right before this one states that לעולם יסדר אדם שולחנו בערב שבת - a person should always organize his table on erev shabbat.

(3) the gemara immediately following states that drinking hot water and eating hot bread on motzei shabbat is healthy for you. It sounds like this is a continuation of the gemara about melaveh malka, and stating that eating hot bread for melaveh malka (as opposed to cold bread) is healthy.</ref> but if one cannot, then cake is sufficient. If one cannot even eat cake, one should at least have some fruits.<ref>Magen Avraham 300:1, Mishna Brurah 300:1. Yalkut Yosef ([[Shabbat]] vol 1, 300:1). The Gra in Biur Hagra 300:1 says that bread must be eaten at the seuda. In Maaseh Rav 150 it says that the Gra was extremely strict about this halacha. It tells a story about when Rav Chaim Volozhin came to visit him and hadn't ate [[melava malka]] because he wasn't feeling well and the Gra told him to eat. Rav Moshe Shternbuch in Teshuvot vihanhagot 2:166 explains that the reason the gra was so strict on this is because he felt it was something that was very neglected. </ref> | * (3) the gemara immediately following states that drinking hot water and eating hot bread on motzei shabbat is healthy for you.
