The average person takes pleasure in eating meat more than other foods, and enjoys wine more than other beverages?thus it is customary to eat meat and drink wine on Shabbat
• Ideally, each Shabbat meal should consist of at least two cooked dishes.4
• One should eat at least two ounces of bread (Challah) during each Shabbat meal. According to a more lenient opinion, one ounce is sufficient.5
• On holidays we are commanded to rejoice. Rejoicing is accomplished through drinking wine6 and eating delicious foods. It is therefore customary to prepare even more foods for Yom Tov meals than for Shabbat. It is also a special Mitzvah to eat meat on holidays.7
