When we go to Shul for Minchah it is advisable that we bring all our necessities that we will need for Yom Kippur so we do not leave things to the last minute. After Minchah, we eat the final meal before the fast. We eat only easily digestible food, such as boiled chicken or soup. We don't eat spicy or salty foods or drinks. Finish the meal while it's still daytime.
Many refined people use only one hand to eat at their meals.

He said there are many reasons we eat without salt on Erev Yom Kippur and the simple reason is so we shouldn't be thirsty, because on Yom Kippur not only must we not eat, but we shouldn't even want to eat or drink. Parents bless their children before going to Kol Nidrei. Although the fast begins at sundown, women and girls lighting candles start at candle lighting.
