Is there any concept of extending the basic minhagim restrictions of the
nine days like no meat or no wine to other "fancy" type foods? A great
salmon steak is just as good or even better than many types of meat,
certainly it is more expensive and can be seen as a delicacy. Similarly
good beer or whiskey is certainly just as "sameach" as wine. Or do we
say "the minhag is the minhag and don't go adding even more items to the
list". IOW it is entirely possible to fulfill the letter of the minhag
and yet not feel the nine days at all.
Has this been discussed here?
