#One can fulfill this with any type of special food, however, it's praiseworthy to do so with bread and make [[Birkat HaMazon]] (with [[Yaaleh VeYavo]]). <ref>Mishna Brurah 419:1. Kaf Hachaim 419:2 quotes the Rabbenu Yahonatan who holds that there's an obligation to have a bread meal on a Rosh Chodesh and a Yareh Shamayim would be strict for him. He concludes that it is a nice practice to make hamotzei with two loaves of bread. Also, in Kaf Hachaim 419:5 he quotes the Chida who says that there's an obligation to honor Rosh Chodesh and infers that one should have a meal on Rosh Chodesh in a honorable manner like one would for Shabbat or Yom Tov. Yalkut Yosef 418:8 writes that someone who has a bread meal is praiseworthy. Chazon Ovadia Chanuka p. 256 disagrees with the Kaf Hachaim that there's an obligation to have a meal with bread.</ref> | #One can fulfill this with any type of special food, however, it's praiseworthy to do so with bread and make [[Birkat HaMazon]] (with [[Yaaleh VeYavo]]). <ref>Mishna Brurah 419:1.
