[Avodah] questions regarding pidyon haben

[Gershon Dubin]

<<But the way you explain it, as being a real minhag, confuses me. If I would attend a bris during the Nine Days, and bring some meat home for someone who was unable to attend, surely they would not be allowed to eat it. Is there a real value in bringing food home, beyond the social aspect?>>
It is said (I forget the source) that participating in a seudas pidyon haben is equivalent to fasting 84 fasts. Hence spreading the opportunity to participate.
