## If someone isn't sure whether he recited Al Hamichya or another Mein Shalosh he should have another kezayit of that food so that he can then recite a certain Bracha Achat Mein Shalosh. However, if he can't exempt it he should not repeat Mein Shalosh.<ref>Mishna Brurah 209:10. He adds that if he can't have another kezayit of the same food he can have a kezayit of another category of Mein Shalosh and include in the Mein Shalosh the one he originally had. For example, if he had a cookie and doesn't know if he recited Al Hamichya he can have a kezayit of dates and recite a combination Mein Shalosh with both Al Hamichya and Al Haetz. This is in line with his opinion in Mishna Brurah 208:82 but in disagreement with Sephardic practice (Shulchan Aruch 208:18).</ref> | |||
# If someone has a food that’s there's a dispute whether it is Al Hagefen one should not eat that food together with a [[Kezayit]] of [[Shehakol]] and [[Kezayit]] of Shevat HaMinim as it’s forbidden to add any addition to [[Al HaMichya]] even if it doesn’t cause an addition of Hashem’s name. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 208:18 based on the Trumat HaDeshen 30</ref> | # If someone has a food that’s there's a dispute whether it is Al Hagefen one should not eat that food together with a [[Kezayit]] of [[Shehakol]] and [[Kezayit]] of Shevat HaMinim as it’s forbidden to add any addition to [[Al HaMichya]] even if it doesn’t cause an addition of Hashem’s name. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 208:18 based on the Trumat HaDeshen 30</ref> | ||
# If someone had a food that’s a [[Kezayit]] of [[Mezonot]] and less than a [[Kezayit]] of Shevat HaMinim one shouldn’t add the addition of Al HaEtz but one who does add it in has what to rely on. <ref> Sh”t Mishneh Halachot 4:29 says that this law should be similar to that of the Shulchan Aruch 208:18 where one shouldn’t add in an addition even if one isn’t adding Hashem’s name. However, he concludes that one has what to rely on if one does add the part of Al HaEtz because the Taz and some achronim say that this S”A is only true Lechatchila, but bedieved one should add in that line of Al HaEtz. Yalkut Yosef (v. 3 p. 496 no. 22) implies that one shouldn’t add the addition unless one had the proper Shiur. </ref> | # If someone had a food that’s a [[Kezayit]] of [[Mezonot]] and less than a [[Kezayit]] of Shevat HaMinim one shouldn’t add the addition of Al HaEtz but one who does add it in has what to rely on. <ref> Sh”t Mishneh Halachot 4:29 says that this law should be similar to that of the Shulchan Aruch 208:18 where one shouldn’t add in an addition even if one isn’t adding Hashem’s name.
