He codifies it in Shulchan Aruch 168:14. Laws of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Forst, pg 260) writes that bagels are made in this way of boiling dough and then baking it in an oven and so it should be [[HaMotzei]]. Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, chap 26, pg 467) agrees. See also Pri Megadim (E"A 168:39), Kaf HaChaim 168:119, and Chazon Ish OC 26:9 who write that bagels are [[HaMotzei]] based on the above Shulchan Aruch 168:14. </ref> | ||

| Banana || HaAdama || Borei Nefashos<ref>Gemara [[Brachot]] 40a-b defines a tree in Halacha as a plant which is capable of giving fruit more than once (after picking the fruit, the tree doesn't die). Tosfot ([[Brachot]] 40a s.v. Itah) understands that as the plant can produce fruit for more than one year even if the branches and trunk of the plant wither in the winter if it comes back because of the roots it's still HaEtz. However, the Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:23) argues that only if the trunk stays intact during the winter in order to produce fruit another year does the fruit require HaEtz. | | Banana || HaAdama || Borei Nefashos<ref>Gemara [[Brachot]] 40a-b defines a tree in Halacha as a plant which is capable of giving fruit more than once (after picking the fruit, the tree doesn't die).

However, the Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:23) argues that only if the trunk stays intact during the winter in order to produce fruit another year does the fruit require HaEtz. Shulchan Aruch 203:2 rules like the Rosh that any plant of which the trunk withers during the winter and doesn't produce fruit the next year the bracha is HaAdama. Additionally, Shulchan Aruch 203:3 rules that bananas which fit into this halachic category is HaAdama. The Laws of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Forst, pg 383) and Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, chap 22, pg 393) concur that the bracha is HaAdama.</ref> | ||

However, the Rama 208:4 rules like the Kol Bo that for raw barley or barley which was roasted is [[Shehakol]]. This is also the opinion of the laws of [[Brachos]] (pg 271). Laws of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Forst, pg 271) rules like the Rama. Even the Kaf HaChaim 208:25 who understands that Shulchan Aruch holds that it is HaAdama, because of the opinion of the Avudraham who says that raw barley requires no Bracha it's preferable to avoid all doubt and make a bracha on something else and have in mind to exempt the barley. </ref> | ||

| On Meat || [[Shehakol]] || Borei Nefashos<ref>Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, chap 4, pg 61-8) writes that in order for one to make one Bracha on a mixture of two foods it must be considered a single physical mass (by having small pieces mixed together so that the ingredients would be eaten together in a single spoonful) or be cooked or baked together. He continues, that when determining the bracha on a mixture of food, if there is grain flour that was cooke dit's automatically [[Mezonot]], if there's one food that's primary and the others enhance it, the bracha is made on the primary food, and if there's no grain flour or primary ingredient, the bracha is made upon the majority ingredient. Laws of [[Brachos]] (pg 207-227) seems to agree on the above set of laws. See [[Ikar and Tofel]].

However, Mishna Brurah 212:6 rules that if one eats cheese on a cracker one only makes a Bracha on the cracker even if one likes the cheese because one is eating the cheese as a spread. <br>**[It’s clear that the Mishna Brurah 212:6 is discussing where one didn’t bake it together, because if so, the Shaar HaTziyun 212:21 should have answered that the difference in cases between in 212:5 and 212:6 was that in 212:5 it wasn’t baked together and in 212:6 it was.] Similarly, Sh”t Shevet HaLevi 7:27(6) explains that Mishna Brurah 168:45 only meant to make two [[Brachot]] when there’s a thick layer of jam but if there’s a thin layer one should only make one Bracha. <br>* To clarify this distinction: Vezot HaBracha (chap 11, pg 99) rules that if there’s a cake with a thick layer of whipped cream, cheese, or ice cream and the two were not baked together one should make two [[Brachot]] (similar to the case of Mishna Brurah 168:45).
