==Which foods can one eat outside the Sukkah?==
# It is permissible to eat up to a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]] of bread outside the Sukkah but for any more than a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]] one must eat it in the Sukkah. <ref>S"A 639:2, Biur Halacha D"H KeBaytzah </ref>
===Bread===
# It is permissible to eat fruits and drinks outside the Sukkah. <ref>S"A 639:2 </ref> However, if one sits down to drink wine in a fixed manner (not just as a snack) especially if a group of people sit to drink wine one must drink it in the Sukkah but not make the Bracha of Leshev BaSukkah. According to Ashkenazim, preferably, one should not establish a fix drink of wine or beer except in a meal of a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]] of bread or at least [[Pas Haba Bikisnin]] (cakes and cookies) in which must eat in the Sukkah and could even make the Bracha of Leshev BaSukkah. <ref>Mishna Brurah 639:13 </ref>

===Fruits===
# If one ate a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]] of [[Pas Haba Bikisnin]] (cookies and cakes) one must eat it in the Sukkah and the Ashkenazic minhag is to make a bracha of LeShev BaSukkah, but it's preferable to wait in the Sukkah for some time afterwards and have in mind when making the bracha that it should cover the eating and the sitting in the sukkah afterwards. <ref>Mishna Brurah 639:16 </ref>
# It is permissible to eat fruits even if one eats a lot of fruit. <ref>S"A and Rama 639:2 </ref>Nonetheless, it's praiseworthy to have fruit in the Sukkah. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah (pg 138), Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 143)</ref>
===Drinks===
# One may have drinks outside the Sukkah. <ref>S"A 639:2 </ref> However, if one sits down to drink wine in a fixed manner (not just as a snack) especially if a group of people sit to drink wine one must drink it in the Sukkah but not make the Bracha of Leshev BaSukkah. According to Ashkenazim, preferably, one should not establish a fix drink of wine or beer except in a meal of a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]] of bread or at least a cooked dish made out of the five grains in which must eat in the Sukkah and could even make the Bracha of Leshev BaSukkah. <ref>Mishna Brurah 639:13 </ref> Nonetheless, it's praiseworthy to have all drinks in the Sukkah. <ref>S"A 639:2 </ref>
===Meat, Fish, Cheese===
# If one makes a meal out of meat, fish, or cheese, preferably one should eat it in the Sukkah. However, if one doesn't eat it as a meal one may eat outside the Sukkah. <ref>Mishna Brurah 639:15. </ref> Nonetheless, it's praiseworthy to have meat, fish, rice, eggs, and cheese in the Sukkah. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Sukkot pg 138), Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 143)</ref>
===Cookies and Cakes===
# If one ate a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]] of [[Pas Haba Bikisnin]] (cookies and cakes) or a cooked dish made out of the five grains (such as noodles) one must eat it in the Sukkah and the Ashkenazic minhag is to make a bracha of LeShev BaSukkah, but it's preferable to wait in the Sukkah for some time afterwards and have in mind when making the bracha that it should cover the eating and the sitting in the sukkah afterwards. <ref>Mishna Brurah 639:16 </ref> Sephardim hold that even though one must eat it in a Sukkah (if one eats more than a [[Measurements#KeBaytzah|KeBaytzah]]) one doesn't make the bracha of LeShev BaSukkah unless one ate 162 grams of a mezonot food and it's preferable to eat 216 grams in order to make the bracah according to all opinions. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Sukkot pg 132-6), Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 142-3) </ref>
