Shalashoodes

The previous post reminded me: I know that it should really be called "Seudas Shlishis", but is "Shalosh Seudos" correct? C'mon people, I know you're out there!

Funny that you should ask. I always had that question and thought that even though everyone refers to it as Shalosh Seudos , I always thought Seudos Shlishis was correct. Behold ! the gabbai in my shul refers to it as Seudos Shlishis. Definitely the right way to say it.

Apparently MoChassid know talent when he sees it. We've all be underestimating him.

Very interesting Gabe. Works for me! Now the I'm lsft with the question of calling it 'shalashudes' (comfortable in my new knowledge) or sticking with seudas shilishis. I think option 'A' wins. Much easier on the tongue.

Chiming in.

I've heard what Gabe said, but it's also acceptable to call it Seudah Shlishit (add "s" and subtract "t" per your Ashkenazi/Sefardi/Israeli orientation)). That just means (I'm pretty sure) "third meal," which it is.
