# | # 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 Reviyit 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 Reviyit 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> | ||
# Preferably one should be strict when making sure to have less than a Reviyit to consider this Reviyit to include anything one tasted the whole day, however, the strict law is that one only has to make sure to have less than a Reviyit each time one tastes. <Ref> S”A 567:2 quotes a dispute whether one is allowed to taste up to a Reviyit and the Reviyit is a combination of anything one tasted the whole day or that one may taste up to a Reviyit many times if at each time it is less than a Reviyit (according to the explanation of Mishna Brurah 567:7 and 9). Kaf HaChaim 567:12 rules that the halacha follows the second opinion but preferably one should be strict for the first opinion as well. Mishna Brurah 567:8 also implies this. </ref> | |||

# In general, it’s a mitzvah to taste the Shabbat food before Shabbat to know if tastes right ([[Preparing_for_Shabbat#Tasting_the_food_in_preparation_of_Shabbat|Tasting food in preparation of Shabbat]]). However, on Friday of Shabbat Chazon, one shouldn’t taste the food. <Ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 42:61 </ref> | |||
# If Asara BeTevet falls out to be on Friday one may taste the food if one spits it out and doesn’t swallow. <Ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 42:61 </ref> | # If Asara BeTevet falls out to be on Friday one may taste the food if one spits it out and doesn’t swallow. <Ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 42:61 </ref> | ||
