Question
My mother-in-law sent me foods in honor of Shabbat, and we want to eat them today. Is this allowed?
Answer
One should not eat on a weekday foods that were sent for Shabbat. However, if you wish to prepare a more exquisite dish for Shabbat and therefore want to eat the first dish on a weekday, it is permitted.
