| Oatmeal || Mezonot || Al Hamichya<ref>Gemara Brachot 36b writes that everyone agrees that Daysa is Mezonot. Rashi (D"H Daysa) explains that Daysa is (a cooked dish) made from crushed up wheat. This ruling is implied from the Rif (Brachot 25b), Rosh (Brachot 6:7), and Rambam (Brachot 3:4) and codified by Tur and S"A 208:2. Therefore, The Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 272, and 374) and Halachos of Brachos (Rabbi Bodner, chap 27, pg 482) rule that oatmeal is Mezonot and Al HaMichya. Halachos of Brachos adds that even if one makes a meal (Koveh Seuda) out of oatmeal the bracha is still Mezonot. </ref>

| Olive Oil || No Bracha || <ref>S”A 202:4 holding like most rishonim (on Gemara Brachot 35b) writes that there's no bracha on plain olive oil, while the Shaar HaTzion points out that the poskim don’t hold like the Rambam Brachot 8:2 who says that one should make Shehakol. Chazon Ovadyah pg 126 writes that this halacha is true even in our day. Mishna Brurah 202:27 writes that the same is true even if one does so in order to soothe one's throat. So holds the Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384). </ref>
