opinions?
what are good things to give?
March 5, 2012 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm #857744kgh5771ParticipantChallah is probably the most appropriate food for Mishloach Manot.
The mitzvah is to give 2 types of food that will be eaten at the Seudah. Candy doesn’t cut it.
I appreciate when I get challah, fruit, kugels and wine/grape juice. And when possible, I try to serve them at the seuda.

But once I found out that there are many people who throw away all home baked goods – even carefully labeled from people they know and eat from generally, I stopped bothering. Some years I will buy, wrap, and label with bakery name.
Potato kugel and cholent definitely go over better with recipients.
Agree that such foods are the ideal Mishloach Manos.

It has nothing to do with better. It’s called different – the fact is its very probable they eat things you don’t want to, and why should you change your hanhagah just to eat someone else’s cookies ?
March 6, 2012 12:13 am at 12:13 am #857748LogicianParticipantum…why would someone eat your cholent and not your cake ?
March 6, 2012 4:22 am at 4:22 am #857749147ParticipantIt is good policy to give non perishable food, and assume that the Shelach Monos packages won’t necessarily be emptied nor refrigerated by the recipients in a timely fashion, espcially if giving to the local Rabbi who is probably smothered with Shelach Monos. …. It is also means the giver can already pack a few days before Purim, without worrying about perishing food.
Often a good idea to give Kosher Al Pesach food. …. When we consolidate our Shelach Monos after Purim:- 1st order of business: Segregate Kosher Al Pesach items from Chometz items.
