#The minhag is to have a big meal before Mincha, then daven Mincha and then have the seuda mafseket. Nonetheless, he should make sure that the first meal isn't too elaborate so that the seuda mafseket is merely stuffing oneself and only a very minimal meal, which is improper.<ref>Rama 552:9, Mishna Brurah 552:22. The Rama writes that the minhag was to have a large meal before mincha and then seuda mafseket after mincha. However, the Mishna Brurah 552:22 quotes many achronim who disapprove of this minhag and advise having only one cooked dish before mincha. The Eliya Rabba concludes that one can follow the minhag as long as one's intent is for heaven to be able to fast properly. Nonetheless he should make sure that the first meal isn't too elaborate so that the seuda mafseket is merely stuffing oneself and a snack and not a meal. Or Letzion 3:28:1 agrees.</ref> | |||
# Someone who knows that he will be able to fast easily and is strict not to minimize with the first meal, prior to the seuda mafseket, or not have it will be praised as being holy.<Ref>Rama 552:9</ref> | |||
# Even someone is following the minhag should make sure to separate the first meal from the seuda mafseket significantly so that he isn't stuffed by the time he is eating the seuda mafseket.<ref>Or Letzion 3:28:1 writes that one can follow the minhag, nonetheless, he should have it a few hours before the seuda mafseket so that the seuda mafseket isn't stuffing oneself and it isn't a concern of [[bracha sheino tzaricha]] to have them too close to one another.</ref> | |||
