“Thursday lunch is cholent”
About 25 years ago my mashgiach once gave a shmooze to bachurim who would go into the yeshiva kitchen friday night and take cholent. Among the things he mentioned was the fact that cholent is a food for shabbos day and it shouldnt be eaten at other times (to show the karaaim/tzedokim that their shitta about not having a fire at all on shabbos was plain wrong, we bidavka ate hot food shabbos day and kept it hot via a fire- not really sure when chazal were kovei to do this). I’m not sure how serious he was when he said it, or if he said it tongue in cheek. What do the esteemed CR rabbonim say on this topic? should cholent be on the menu after wednesday (ladies, i’m not taking away your right to serve leftovers from shabbos, taling about a cholent made specifically for thursday lunch). I thought that perhaps it might fall into the category of “toameha”, but thursday lunch, thursday after mishmor, again friday afternoon and again friday night?
