If one has two foods of the same [[brachos]] chazal established that a person should make the bracha on the halachically important food as will be discussed in this article and exempt the other. Similarly, if one has two or more foods of different [[brachos]] there is an order for which the [[brachos]] should be made. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 124)</ref> | If one has two foods of the same [[brachos]] chazal established that a person should make the bracha on the halachically important food as will be discussed in this article and exempt the other.

# 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 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. | * Tosfot [[Berachot]] 41a s.v.

* 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).

* 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. | * 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.

* 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. | * Beiur Halacha 211:1 s.v.
