#One should try to eat bread for [[Melava Malka]], but if he cannot then cake is sufficient. If he cannot even eat cake he should at least have some fruits | #One should try to eat bread for [[Melava Malka]], but if he cannot then cake is sufficient. If he cannot even eat cake he should at least have some fruits. <ref>Magen Avraham 300:1, Mishna Brurah 300:1. Yalkut Yosef ([[Shabbat]] vol 1, 300:1). The Gra in Biur Hagra 300:1 says that bread must be eaten at the seuda. In Maaseh Rav 150 it says that the Gra was extremely strict about this halacha. It tells a story about when Rav Chaim Volozhin came to visit him and hadn't ate [[melava malka]] because he wasn't feeling well and the Gra told him to eat. Rav Moshe Shternbuch in Teshuvot vihanhagot 2:166 explains that the reason the gra was so strict on this is because he felt it was something that was very neglected. </ref> | ||
