Apr 17, 2018 at 20:04 comment added sabbahillel @Danf Note that Shamai prepared from the beginning of the week. Part of preparing is tasting to make sure.
Apr 17, 2018 at 19:13 comment added sabbahillel .@Danf I doubt that as your tasting is part of the preparation and making sure that it is good
Apr 17, 2018 at 14:08 comment added DanF @JoshK I would like to hear what someone says. But, perhaps, the question is bigger. You're question focuses on left-overs from Shabbat. What I'm (and you, maybe) wondering is at what point is your cooking designated for Shabbat? There is a "mitzvah" to taste the Shabbat food on Friday, and to start preparing on Friday. However, if you prepare on Wed. having in mind that this is Shabbat food, but you decide to eat some of it now, have you nullified the whole process of Shabbat preparations?
Apr 16, 2018 at 23:44 comment added יהושע ק That's the heart of the matter, @DanF. Upon further reflection, many stewy Shabbat type dishes are better on the 2nd or 3rd day after cooking. I think I'll get some psak on the issue
Apr 16, 2018 at 23:13 comment added DanF @JoshK I got that. Though, even without the neder, I think that if you make a lot of food and you leave the left-overs specifically for next Shabbat, I don't think it's "significantly" lesser quality. It's certainly a significant step up from eating "weekday" food on Shabbat. Busy people can't always make fresh food, weekly. That does put to question, perhaps, a recent practice of mishmar and kosher take-outs serving chulent on Thursday night and having the left-over for Shabbat.
Apr 16, 2018 at 22:46 comment added יהושע ק I think the key point is that leftovers are lower quality @Dan so lo longer fit for the Sabbath table...if a king or the president of the country I live in (not the US so no need to complicate things) ever pops by for a meal he's not getting reheated leftovers
Apr 16, 2018 at 22:46 comment added sabbahillel @DanF Since I explain how A is possible, then B is not required. The question was asking that if A is not allowed, then would B be allowed or would the food have to be discarded.
Apr 16, 2018 at 22:42 vote accept יהושע ק
Apr 16, 2018 at 22:27 comment added DanF This seems to answer A but not B.
