SEIF 6 (Cont.)
We previously brought down the Shitas HaRan who holds that if someone finishes the afternoon meal and it becomes dark, Kiddush is said, but it is not necessary to eat afterwards. Even though Kiddush is needed to be said by the meal, since a meal was already eaten, making Kiddush at the end of the meal is analogous to making Kiddush before or during the meal. The Rosh disagrees. Since the meal was not eaten for the honor of Shabbos, it does not count as Kiddush being eaten with the meal. Therefore the bread must be covered, Kiddush made and some food eaten in honor of Shabbos.
