# For, pie or strudel with fruit filling which was baked together, one should only make [[Mezonot]]. <Ref> VeTen Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner, chapter 4, pg 504, Handbook pg 70) writes that since the filling was baked together with the crust, they form one entity and deserves only one Bracha. This is also the opinion of Vezot HaBracha (Luach [[Brachot]] pg 394) </ref>

# For chulent (barley, beans, small pieces of meat and potato) the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. If there’s no barley, and the majority is potatoes and beans, the Bracha is HaAdama, if the majority is rice, make [[Mezonot]]. If there’s no barley and the Chulent has the Bracha of HaAdama, if the kishka is eaten separately (not in the same forkful), it requires it’s own [[mezonot]]. However, if the pieces are large enough that they don’t come up together on same forkful, each component requires it’s own Bracha. <Ref> VeTen Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner, chapter 4, pg 65, 80, Handbook pg 28), Vezot HaBracha (pg 107, chapter 11, pg 392, Luach [[Brachot]]) </ref>
