Most of the time we keep the bread on the table parve and the leftover challah makes for perfect French toast after Shabbos/yom tov. It doesn't always work out, and so over Y"T we ended up with half a challah that was fleishig. My wife put it away and later used it for a bread kugel.
There is a din (Y.D. 97) that we don't bake milchig or fleishig bread to eat with a milchig or fleishig meal. The reason is because one may get things mixed up and assume the bread is parve and end up eating either milchig bread with fleishigs or vice versa. I found that the Badei HaShulchan not in that siman, but earlier in siman 91 (s.k. 17), asks why the same din does not apply to leftover bread -- why not say that once your bread became milchig or fleishig by coming in contact with things on the table that it has the same din as bread baked milchig or fleishig and cannot be eaten? He notes that the minhag ha'olam is to do what we did and not throw out the bread, but he leaves it as a tzarich iyun as to how this works.
I hadn't thought about it before I saw his comment.

ReplyDeleteI believe Rav Herschel Schachter Paskens that, nowadays, where we have separate serving platters for our different foods at the meal, including the bread, any uncut bread from a dairy/meat meal can be consumed at a meal with either dairy or meat.
ReplyDelete(Agav, a friend of mine asked if this would uproot the Minhag to eat dairy on Shavuos, according to the Rema. Rav Schachter responded, "In Hachi Nami."
