Question

When I eat bread at home with the intention to continue the meal at a tish or another place, do I need to eat bread at the second place or are other foods sufficient?

Answer

Although it is explained in the poskim that when one intends to leave in the middle of a bread meal and continue eating elsewhere, according to the Rema, it is permissible to leave initially, this is only when eating bread at the second place. However, when eating other foods, since for Birkat Hamazon one must return to the first place where bread was eaten and bless there, one should not leave initially. If one left and ate other foods at the second place, one must return to the first place and recite Birkat Hamazon.
