# | #According to Ashkenazic custom, if the wife ate from a dish often classified as one, such as finely cut vegetables, anything left over is considered leftovers which are prohibited to the husband. If however a plate contains two large particles of food, and the wife only ate from one, the husband may indulge in the other.<ref>Igrot Moshe (Yoreh Deah 1:92), Badei Hashulchan (195:51)</ref> | ||
#It is permissible for the woman to cut a piece off a large bread and eat it and the rest isn't considered leftovers. However, if she takes a piece of an individual loaf, the rest is considered leftovers. Even when there's no issue of leftovers they may not eat on the same plate.<ref>Igrot Moshe YD 1:92, Badei Hashulchan 195:51</ref> | #It is permissible for the woman to cut a piece off a large bread and eat it and the rest isn't considered leftovers.

#According to Ashkenazic custom, the wife took butter or the like with a utensil, and then returned the knife with extra butter on it to the butter dish, it would then be forbidden for her husband to take that butter.<ref>Igrot Moshe (Yoreh Deah 1:92), Mishmeret Hatahara (195:39). He does however quote Rabbi Elyashiv saying that the leftover spread on the knife is not considered leftovers. See Iggrot Moshe (ibid.) who writes that ideally couples should not share a butter dish, although it is Halachically permitted. </ref> | #According to Ashkenazic custom, the wife took butter or the like with a utensil, and then returned the knife with extra butter on it to the butter dish, it would then be forbidden for her husband to take that butter.<ref>Igrot Moshe (Yoreh Deah 1:92), Mishmeret Hatahara (195:39).
