Question
What is forbidden to eat before lighting the candles?
Answer
It is forbidden to eat bread and grain products more than the size of an egg half an hour before lighting. Less than this amount is permitted. Drinking all types of beverages except wine is also forbidden. Tasting is allowed, meaning less than the aforementioned amount or fruits, vegetables, and snacks that are not grain-based, without quantity limitation.
