I can think of two reasons for the meat. One is simple - there is a old
saying in Judaism (from the days when neither was more than weekly fare any
way) - "There is no simcha [joy] without meat and wine." Every meal in the
sukkah should be a celebration (that's why I suggested bread with each
meal.)
Another (and this is pure speculation) may harken all the way back to
Temple days, when there would be massive, and ever-increasing, extra daily
sacrifices during the week of Sukkot. This is a pilgrimage festival as
well, so Jerusalem would be filled with people. It just makes sense that
the extra meat (once the priests and Levites get their shares) would be
distributed to the crowds. I could easily be wrong - anyone know what
happened to all the Sukkot sacrifices?
