Seudah Hamafseket

Question

Is eating an egg dipped in ashes at the seudah hamafseket compulsory? I dislike hard boiled eggs and have an aversion to eating them.

    No, it is not compulsory. There is a custom to eat something round at the Seudah Mafsekes just as one does when beginning to sit Shivah. It does not have to be an egg. It can really be anything at all that is round.
