Does zimun apply when three ate together from the seven species (shivat haminim) but not bread?
Synopsis
Whether three who ate from the shivat haminim (without bread) are obligated in zimun is disputed. The Mishnah Berurah and Magen Avraham note a minority opinion requiring zimun for the seven species; the mainstream view (and Aruch HaShulchan) rejects this.
