Volume 2, Book 26, Number 777:

Narrated Ibn Juraij:

'Ata' said, "I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) saying, 'We never ate the meat of the Budn for more than three days of Mina. Later, the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) gave us permission by saying: 'Eat and take (meat) with you. So we ate (some) and took (some) with us.' " I asked 'Ata', "Did Jabir (radiallaahu `anhu) say (that they went on eating the meat) till they reached Medina?" 'Ata' replied, "No."

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 778:

Narrated 'Amra:

I heard 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa) saying, "We set out (from Medina) along with Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) five days before the end of Dhul-Qa'da with the intention of performing Hajj only. When we approached Mecca, Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) ordered those who had no Hadi along with them to finish the lhram after performing Tawaf of the Ka'ba, (Safa and Marwa). 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa) added, "Beef was brought to us on the Day of Nahr and I said, 'What is this?' Somebody said, 'The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) has slaughtered (cows) on behalf of his wives.' "

This Hadith has been discussed before as well. Read it here.

Both these Ahadith give evidence that it's okay to eat from the animal you sacrifice. Rather, it's Sunnah. Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) encouraged companions to do so (as in the first Hadith), and sent some for his wives (as in the second Hadith). So eat from the meat whenever an animal is sacrificed (Eid/aqeeqah/Hajj etc.).

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 758:

Narrated Sahl bin Sad:

There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq (a kind of vegetable) on the edges of streams in her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the roots in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley over it and cook it. The roots of the Silq were a substitute for meat. After finishing the Jumua prayer we used to greet her and she would give us that food which we would eat with our hands, and because of that meal, we used to look forward to Friday.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 759:

Narrated Sahl:

As above with the addition: We never had an afternoon nap nor meals except after offering the Jumua prayer.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 760:

Narrated Anas:

We used to offer the Jumua prayer early and then have the afternoon nap.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 761:

Narrated Sahl:

We used to offer the Jumua prayer with the Prophet and then take the afternoon nap.

Silq, the vegetable, is the beetroot (chiqandar).
Companions used to go to the woman's place every Friday, just to enjoy the meal. And they looked forward to Friday for this very reason. Haha. Food! :D
They used to offer Jumu`ah, then eat and then take the afternoon nap.
Actually, the afternoon nap is very good for one's health. But there's some things you should know about it. For example, napping for 20-30 minutes and falling asleep for 2-3 hours are two different things. :P
And check this out. They say the best time to nap is between 1 PM - 3 PM = right after Jumu`ah/Dhuhr Salah. (y)
See? Sunnah is cool.

: Hehe. Loved this one!

Wassalam.

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 640:

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet said, "If supper is served, and Iqama is pronounced one should start with the supper."

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 641:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "If the supper is served start having it before praying the Maghrib prayer and do not be hasty in finishing it."

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 642:

Narrated Nafi':

Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If the supper is served for anyone of you and the Iqama is pronounced, start with the supper and don't be in haste (and carry on eating) till you finish it." If food was served for Ibn 'Umar and Iqama was pronounced, he never came to the prayer till he finished it (i.e. food) in spite of the fact that he heard the recitation (of the Qur'an) by the Imam (in the prayer). Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you is having his meals, he should not hurry up till he is satisfied; even if the prayer has been started."

Now, it's not an everyday situation. We make sure that our meal times do not conflict with prayer times. But in case food is served to you at prayer time and you're hungry, you may continue eating. And don't make haste in finishing your food, as Prophet (SAW) said.
