I didn’t read it but I agree. Btw with chicken- you can cut the meat off the bone to make pargiyot just to have something different and use the bones for soup.

Dear OP & all that think that buying good meat for yom tov is over the top,
Does it make you feel any better when I tell you that we bh received a generous gift card towards buying good meat for yom tov??
Everyone should buy what they can afford & keep their eyes in their own plate.

I don't think OP was saying its over the top just validating that many of us cant afford it and you don't have to compare yourself. Its perfectly fine if your not serving roast at each meal many many of us are not.

Serving 3-5 course meals 2x a day for a week is gluttonous to me.

We're serving 2 yom tov meals a day for the duration of yom tov! It's not gluttonous, it's simchas yom tov, a mitzvah.

My point is there are many different people out there and one post does not paint a full picture. Its best to focus on yourself than be jealous of what others are doing. I was just giving my perspective we never eat meat and have it special for yt. Not that I posted my menu on that other thread but I could be a person you are jealous of

Well that’s what hashem told us to do so you can go take it up with him. Meanwhile I’ll happily serve beautiful meals because it’s a mitzvah and what we are supposed to do.

No Hashem didn’t say you need gluttonous meals. At night we always have soup and salad it’s not a Mitzvah to stuff ourselves

I trust that the people that posted those menus have the means to be able to enhance their meals in that way.
Saying that their menus are full of gluttony is not the torah way.

Eating more than soup and salad is not gluttonous. You all sound like you care more about current trends and less about what the Torah says. Soup and salad is a ridiculous skimpy meal that doesn’t fill anyone.

He specifically mentioned meat and wine not salad. We don’t have to eat crazy amounts to the point of getting stuffed.

Who even talks about how much of anything they eat. You have no idea how many people those 2 roasts are feeding. Sheesh people.

I really wonder what people read when they twist a thread into what it's clearly not. Because I was SUPER CLEAR to note a few times that I am thrilled for people who make the larger meat filled meals. And I mean it.
I was also SUPER CLEAR that I wanted to note that you can also make a really nice yomtov without those things also. Because I know people read the freezer thread and felt bad.

Thank you. I did not say anything about gluttony, someone else did though. If you can afford it, enjoy every bite! If you got the meat in a box, enjoy every bite! If you are like me and everyone is sick of chicken, enjoy the experience of sitting in the sukkah with your family and make THAT the focus, not the main course (meat). I make BH good sides that are cheap and interesting enough that we have great meals. Just not a lot or any red meat depending on the year.
Eilu v'eilu. This is good and that is good and no one should read this site and feel less than. And no one should ever think they need to buy red meat before they pay tuition (which I know is a thing people have to deal with, and I hope Bez"H no one here has that struggle).

What?? At night we literally can’t eat a heavy meal. We fill up on soup (with knaidlach) and salad (with a protein in it)

Just because you decided that meat is gluttonous, does not mean that it is. A full yom tov meal is not gluttonous. There's no chiyuv or gadlus in having just soup and salad for the yom tov meal. The torah says that a yom tov meal is bassur- meat. Not soup and salad. If that's enough for your family, then that's good. But don't call the mitzvah of having meat at yom tov meals gluttonous.

You can't, but plenty others can, and it doesn't make those that eat meat at every meal gluttonous. That's a ridiculous thing to say.

Read: YOU fill up on that. Other people prefer their YT meal of good red meat and wine.

And because you have an eating issue the rest of the world who has normal working bodies that need 3 actual meals, is gluttonous? Do you even hear yourself?
