====Tasting food====
# According to Sephardim, on a fast day besides [[Tisha BeAv]] and [[Yom Kippur]] one may taste food (to see if it’s spiced) up to a [[Revi'it]] as long as one spits it out afterwards. According to Ashkenazim, one may not taste food on any communal fast day except where one needs to taste a food for a Suedat Mitzvah to see if it’s spiced well. <Ref> S”A 567:1 writes that on any fast day one may taste food up to a [[Revi'it]] as long as one spits it all out except for [[Tisha BeAv]] and [[Yom Kippur]] when it’s forbidden. Rama 567:1 writes that the minhag is not to taste any food on any communal fast. Mishna Brurah 567:6 writes that one may only be lenient in a case where one has to taste food that’s being prepared for a Seudat Mitzvah to see if it’s spiced well. However, Rav Ovadyah in Chazon Ovadyah (Arba Taniyot pg 27) rules like S”A. </ref>
