Q. Happy Purim Rov. If someone does not usually wash and eat bread during weekdays, should he do so on Purim Katan? Should one also eat meat and drink wine?
A. Rema (O.H. 697: 1) writes that our minhag is to augment (Leharbos) on the meal one eats during Purim.
Our Rabbonim maintain that it includes eating bread and meat or making a special dish.
On question 484 regarding if a seuda of Purim Katan on Friday or since should be made on the night, we wrote: Remoh writes that there is no requirement to do a Seuda at all on Purim Kattan, only to add a bit to the regular meal. On Friday this should be done before Chatzos. (mid day).
In our case Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that even if one is not obliged to comply with this Seuda, when one does do it, it should be done better during the day and accompanied with meat and wine.
