# If one has two foods of different [[Berachot]], the order of the [[Berachot]] is as follows: [[HaMotzei]], [[Mezonot]] (there’s a dispute whether this includes rice), [[HaGefen]], HaEtz, HaAdama, and [[Shehakol]]. (The acronym to remember this is Maga Esh (מג"ע א"ש). This order doesn’t change even if one of the foods is from the Shivat HaMinim or one of the foods is preferred to the person [[making the Beracha]]. According to Sephardim, [[HaGefen]] doesn’t precede olives or dates. <ref> | # If one has two foods of different [[Berachot]], the order of the [[Berachot]] is as follows: [[HaMotzei]], [[Mezonot]] (there’s a dispute whether this includes rice), [[HaGefen]], HaEtz, HaAdama, and [[Shehakol]].

* Tosfot Berachot 41a | * Tosfot Berachot 41a s.v. Aval infers from the Gemara 39a that HaAdama take precedence over [[Shehakol]] because it is more specific. S”A 211:3 rules that [[HaEtz and HaAdama]] precede [[Shehakol]], and some say that HaEtz also precedes HaAdama (the Mishna Brurah 211:18 accepts this as halacha (see #3).) Similarly, Rama 211:4, 5 writes that the order the [[brachot]] which are more specific are [[HaMotzei]], [[Mezonot]], [[HaGefen]] and [[HaGefen]] precedes the other Shivat HaMinim. However, Rav Ovadyah in Chazon Ovadyah (pg 276-7) and Yalkut Yosef 211:3 rules like the Bet Yosef, that wine does not precede dates or olives, against the Ben Ish Chai (Matot #1), who rules like the Rama. | ||
* Mishna Brurah 211:35 summarizes the order as follows: [[HaMotzei]], [[Mezonot]], Hagafen, HaEtz, HaAdama, and [[Shehakol]]. Vezot HaBracha (pg 125) writes that even rice precedes Hagefen. However, Pri Megadim (A”A 211:13(2)) and Kaf HaChaim 211:27 argue that rice doesn’t precede Hagefen.</ref> | * Mishna Brurah 211:35 summarizes the order as follows: [[HaMotzei]], [[Mezonot]], Hagafen, HaEtz, HaAdama, and [[Shehakol]].

# However, if one has before him a HaEtz food and a HaAdama food, the usually preferred one takes precedence. If they’re equal in that regard, then precedence is given to the presently preferred food. If both are preferred then Shivat HaMinim takes precedence (according to the above order). If neither are Shivat HaMinim and are equally preferred, then HaEtz takes precedence over HaAdama. <ref> | # However, if one has before him a HaEtz food and a HaAdama food, the usually preferred one takes precedence.

* The Rosh explains Ulla (see #1) to mean that when one has foods of two different [[brachot]] one may make either bracha first and there’s no preference at all. However, Tosfot 41a | * The Rosh explains Ulla (see #1) to mean that when one has foods of two different [[brachot]] one may make either bracha first and there’s no preference at all. However, Tosfot 41a s.v. Aval holds that if the [[brachot]] are different even Rabbi Yehuda agrees that one should give precedence to the preferred food. | ||
* Beiur Halacha 211:1 | * Beiur Halacha 211:1 s.v. VeYesh points out that seemingly in the rishonim many hold like the second opinion including Rav Hai Goen, Rabbenu Chananel, Rif, Tosfot, Rabbenu Yonah, and Rashba as opposed to the first opinion which is only the Rosh and Ravyah. Mishna Brurah 211:9 writes that the halacha follows Tosfot to which most rishonim agree. | ||
* S”A 211:3 writes that if one has a HaEtz or HaAdama food one may make either one first and some say that HaEtz takes precedence. Mishna Brurah 211:18 writes that we are strict for the second opinion; yet, the concern of preference and afterwards Shivat HaMinim override this concern. Therefore, Mishna Brurah 211:18 rules that HaAdama on roasted wheat precedes HaEtz for an apple. Mishna Brurah 211:35 summarizes this and that is the basis for the halacha written above. Yalkut Yosef 211:5 seems to agree. | * S”A 211:3 writes that if one has a HaEtz or HaAdama food one may make either one first and some say that HaEtz takes precedence.

* The Rosh 6:25 explains preferred as the food which is usually preferred, whereas the Rambam 8:13 explains that it’s the food which is presently preferred. Mishna Brurah 211:35 writes that Ashkenazim follow the Rosh unless the foods are equal in that regard in which case the one which is presently preferred takes precedence. Even though Kaf HaChaim 211:8 seems to hold like the Rambam, Halacha Brurah 211:5 and Birkat Hashem (vol 3, 3:8) rule like the Rosh because that’s the implication of S”A.</ref> | * The Rosh 6:25 explains preferred as the food which is usually preferred, whereas the Rambam 8:13 explains that it’s the food which is presently preferred.
