* In the Gemara [[Brachot]] 41b there’s three opinions whether one should make a Bracha on fruit in a meal. Rav Sheshet holds that one must make both [[Bracha Rishona]] and [[Bracha Achrona]], Rav Huna states that one must make a [[Bracha Rishona]] and not [[Bracha Achrona]], and Rabbi Chiya holds that fruit doesn’t require any Bracha. Then the Gemara continues that the halacha follows the guidelines of Rav Papa, foods which are brought as part of the meal don’t require a Bracha and foods which are not brought as part of the meal require a [[Bracha Rishona]] and not [[Bracha Achrona]]. [Rashi writes that Rav Papa holds that fruit are in a third category of food which is normally brought as dessert and require both a [[Bracha Rishona]] and [[Bracha Achrona]] like the opinion of Rav Sheshet.] Tosfot (D”H Hilchata) rules like Rav Huna as fruit is considered fruit that is not brought as part of the meal and so it should require a [[Bracha Rishona]]. This opinion is accepted by the Rosh. Tur and S”A 177:2 rule like the Tosfot. </ref> | * In the Gemara [[Brachot]] 41b there’s three opinions whether one should make a Bracha on fruit in a meal.

# A cooked dish made from fruit and is served as part of the main meal doesn’t require it’s own Bracha.
