Tales of HP

Another example of why I love this town. Letters are boiled down and not acutal quotes. Rabbi Sephardi is not the head of the local Sephardi shul.

Can I make an eruv tavshilin using a baked food and a roasted food, rather than the traditional baked food and boiled food?

After the fact it is ok, but if you haven't made it yet you should use a boiled food rather than a roasted one.

According to the Rambam [detailed cite], an eruv tavshillin may be made with boiled, fried, pickled or even salted foods.

After getting Rabbi Sephardi's email I checked the Shulchan Aruch. He is correct and I am therefore changing my psak - roasted food is ok to use in the eruv even l'hatchila.
