Question

How does one make an interruption during the pre-fast meal so that it counts as two meals regarding two dishes?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

There needs to be a distraction of attention. This is done either by a concluding blessing and a long interruption.

Or by a concluding blessing and leaving the house, for example, going out for the Mincha prayer.
