What can I do with the leftover bread that
I have from a meat meal? Can I serve it at
a dairy meal? If a person has bread at the
meal, but they're careful. They remove it
before the meat comes to the table or they
watch it to make sure that nobody handles
it during the meal. It never got any residue of
meat on it. So then that bread is still pareve,
and it can be served at a dairy meal. If a person
slices the bread and handle them during the meal,
those slices of bread are considered meat, and
they should not be served at a dairy meal. If you
have the bread that's still on the table, but it's
still on the cutting board, or it's in the basket,
it could be served at a dairy meal. But there's a
custom not to use that as well. If you serve it at
the beginning of a dairy meal, but not together
with actual cheese, that's okay. You can eat
it and then have the cheese afterwards, but you
shouldn't make a sandwich or melt cheese on it.
