    1. Title: Very late Friday meal

      <p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; margin-right: -54.55pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">If one eats a meal on Friday and before one has finished it, it is sunset, namely Shabbos begins, one must stop eating, put out a covered lechem mishnah, make kiddush and eat at least a kezayis from this lechem mishnah &ndash; (no netillas yadayim or hamotzi is required). It is best to avoid being in such a situation, but there could be occasions when one does need to eat such a meal. Consider the case in the summer in a very northern location where Shabbos begins very late indeed. For children or elderly people eating at a very late hour could well be very difficult. They could start a meal with a &ldquo;Shabbos type&rdquo; menu and when at least &ldquo;plag minchah&rdquo; arrives, they could accept Shabbos, stop eating, make kiddush and eat at least a kezayis from the lechem mishnah. <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-US">(see: Piskei Teshuvos, volume 3, 271:14)</span></span></span></span></p>
