What to serve at a pidyon haben break fast?

[AsherO]

If i was a Kohen and they served pareve cholent at a pidyon haben, I'd walk out with the baby on humanitarian grounds.

But what if you were ExGingi and he were a Cohen???

[AsherO]

It sounds like this is a walk-around buffet, not a plated sit-down meal, right?

Are Pidyon Habens typically played sit down meals? I need to get out more

He'd walk out with the baby in protest, because it doesn't taste nearly as good as his wife's pareve cholent.

Meat sushi. I think @mochjas knows a place.

I've only been to two, and both were sit-down meals.

make sure you invite me

[ExGingi]

Maybe facon and eggs and/or chicken soup. Also consider salmon pockets, they’re light and filling.

Don’t worry, if they know you’re coming they’ll make sure to have parve cholent...

It is leil shishi after all...

A close friend made a pidyon haben on tzom gedalia, but it was 10 years ago, so I don't remember what was served or whether it was well received. I can ask if you're really curious.

Taco station with lighter options like salmon and sizzled and chicken and pulled brisket ribs beef etc.

I'd serve whatever you would have served if it weren't a fast day, only adding mezonos and coffee before the meal instead of keeping it for dessert. I somehow doubt you would have served anything that heavy that it wouldn't go down well after a fast.

To many more simchas, and may your biggest challenges be how best to celebrate

Straight up like any other night.  Believe me people won't flinch and they will eat whatever.   My brother made a vach nacht tzom gedalia at night. Regular buffet

What's a buffet at a vach nacht?

Chinese dishes, kugel, sushi.   Regular food that might consider heavy for after a fast.  But everyone ate regularly

[yoshyosh]

Puff pastry hotdogs, delli roll, knish, cookies, cinnamon rolls, gaterade, coffee.

At a vach nacht? Isn't that where you have the kids come over and say shmah with the baby and give them some candy?

Not by chassidim. It's a party on par with, and sometimes bigger than, the bris.

I made my son's P"H during the 9 days, opted to serve ribeyes   Honestly, Jews will eat anything anytime, so I wouldn't overthink it. Having lighter options like fish, sushi, breads, and less oily salads would probably be great.

Welcome to the club.

In Lubavitch vach nacht is just for a few kids to come say shema and get pecklach. Hearing that it is a whole massive event was mind blowing for me

How else could it have been read?

You are truly missing out 

I would think if it means a party, then chabad would also be doing it. I guess I was wrong
