Looking for some inspiration for an easy to cook and easy to eat menu for erev yom kippur.

All ideas appreciated, thank you!

Chicken cutlets
Roasted chicken
Sweet lukshen kugel
Broccoli

there is a minhag? to have two suedahs erev yom kippur, I think as in to take the place of the seudahs that we aren't eating on the actual chag.

Open the package, place in the slow cooker, add water, turn the slow cooker on and before long the corned beef will be thinking "get me out of here!!!!!!"

Yes

Just keep in mind that some people don't eat meat for that meal... but the corned beef does sound delicious! I would love the recipe.

I love corned beef but wouldn't serve it then, makes me so so thirsty even when I'm not fasting.

The people I know with this issue take a (bread based-so they can wash) lunch to work then have a seuda when they come home or they eat a light first seuda when they come home then daven mincha and eat a second seuda.

These people will probably not work on erev jom kippur. My company is closing erev jom kippur. As we hold that erev jom kippur is a jom tov just as jom kippur is.
