Line 1: Line 1:
After a person eats any food or drink he should thank Hashem who supplied him with the sustenance. ''Chazal'' instituted several types of texts for the bracha achrona, a final bracha, depending on the type of food or drink one ate or drank. Additionally, there are certain requisite conditions that are necessary in order to be obligated to recite a bracha achrona, including a requisite volume of food consumed and a certain time frame one consumed the food within.

#If you made a bracha achrona and there was still food stuck in your teeth you can swallow it without a bracha.<ref>Chut Shani Brachot p. 213 writes that once it was in your mouth the food is considered digested and insignificant and wouldn't require a bracha. Or Letzion 2:46:48 agrees for another reason. He says that since you made the bracha achrona with in mind that you'll continue to eat those crumbs the bracha achrona isn't a hefsek for those crumbs. Even though the Magen Avraham 190 has that opinion about all food that one intends to eat after the bracha achrona and he is disputed regarding crumbs in your teeth after the bracha achrona maybe everyone would agree with his opinion. Meir Oz 7:812 agrees and quotes the Chazon Ish (Maaeh Ish 5:13) and Shevet Hakehati 1:95 who also held like this.</ref>

# If someone made a mistake and recited a bracha achrona even though they thought that were going to eat more afterwards they don't require a bracha rishona for that food he had in mind.<reF>Magen Avraham 190:3. Pri Megadim E"A 190:3 answers that if it was intentional then the bracha achrona completely ends the bracha rishona beforehand as could be seen in Tosfot Pesachim 102b s.v. yaknah and Magen Avraham 190:1</reF>

#If one ate a [[Mezonot]] food and then made [[Birkat HaMazon]] by accident one fulfilled one’s obligation and shouldn’t repeat Bracha Achrona.<ref>Even though S”A 208:17 writes that [[Birkat HaMazon]] doesn’t cover saying [[Al HaMichya]] on a Tavshil [[Mezonot]], many achronim including Mishna Brurah 208:75 and Halacha Brurah 208:60 argue that one has fulfilled one’s obligation and shouldn’t repeat Bracha Achrona. </ref>
#If one ate a dates or drank wine and then made [[Birkat HaMazon]] by accident one fulfilled one’s obligation and shouldn’t repeat Bracha Achrona.<ref>Brachot 12a, Shulchan Aruch 208:17 </ref>
#If one ate a different food which has the Bracha Achrona of [[Boreh Nefashot]] or Al HaEtz and then made [[Birkat HaMazon]] by accident according to most authorities one hasn’t fulfilled one’s obligation but in order to concerned for the minority opinion one should hear the correct Bracha Achrona from someone else or have another amount of food and make the correct Bracha Achrona.<ref>Halacha Brurah 208:60 </ref>
#In any case the fact that [[Birkat HaMazon]] fulfills one’s obligation after the fact, is true even if one only said the first paragraph of Birkat Hamazon.<ref>S”A 208:17 </ref>
#If one ate foods that require a Bracha Mein Shalosh ([[Al HaMichya]], Al HaEtz, Al [[HaGefen]]) and began [[saying Birkat HaMazon]], if one remembered in middle of saying the first Bracha one should continue with Bracha Mein Shalosh from the words “Al Shehinchalta LeAvotenu”.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 208:17 </ref>

#Al Haetz after the fact exempts fruits that are haetz but not vegetables that are haadama. Al Hagefen doesn't exempt fruits.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 208:13</ref>
