Esther 9:19 But those Jews that dwelt in towns, not walled, and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month, Adar, for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.

Meats, not only to the poor, but to all their friends, ver. 22., and 2 Esdras 8:10. (Calmet)
