## If one didn't finish eating the first food and then got another food with the same bracha it is also exempt after the fact.<ref>Mishna Brurah 206:22, Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:37:1, Yalkut Yosef 206:22, Vezot Habracha p. 66</ref> | ## If one didn't finish eating the first food and then got another food with the same bracha it is also exempt after the fact.<ref>Mishna Brurah 206:22, Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:37:1, Yalkut Yosef 206:22, Vezot Habracha p. 66</ref> | ||

# For example, if someone was eating an apple and only had specific intention to eat that apple, if he wants another apple he doesn't need a new bracha. If he wants to then eat an orange he needs another bracha unless he didn't finish eating the apple.<ref>Vezot Habracha p. 67</ref> | # For example, if someone was eating an apple and only had specific intention to eat that apple, if he wants another apple he doesn't need a new bracha.

# Food and drinks are independent when it comes to a person who didn't have something in mind specifically. Therefore, if someone made a bracha and then decide to have a drink with the same bracha or was drinking and then decided to have a food with the same bracha, it would not be included.<ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:38:1 writes that drinks and food would not exempt one another with stam daat. Mishna Brurah 206:21 agrees. However, Yalkut Yosef 206:22 writes that because of safek brachot lehakel one would not make a bracha in this case.</ref> | # Food and drinks are independent when it comes to a person who didn't have something in mind specifically.

# Intention that is general and only covers the food because it came before one finished the first one doesn't doesn't work if the second food takes precedence in the laws of the [[order of brachot]].<Ref>Rama 211:5, Mishna Brurah 211:32, Vezot Habracha p. 68</ref> Briefly, the order is for mezonot that the 5 grains come first and then the food one likes more; for haetz, shivat haminim comes first (in this order: olives, dates, grapes, figs, and pomegranates) and then the food one likes more; for all other brachot precedence depends on the food one likes more.<ref>Vezot Habracha p. 68</ref> According to most this applies to Sephardim as well.<ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:39:1 argues that Shulchan Aruch disagrees with the Rama and doesn't distinguish. However, Or Letzion 2:14:16 follows the Rama in this case and would even require a new bracha when the second food is more significant in terms of the order of brachot. Yalkut Yosef 206:23 agrees and writes that someone who makes a new bracha in this case didn't lose out because he has what to rely upon to make a new bracha.</ref> | |||
