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> Generally one should recite the bracha on the nicer food because it is more respectful to praise Hashem over a nicer item.<ref>Levush 168:1</ref> Alternatively, since reciting a bracha is a mitzvah, it is considered an enhancement of the mitzvah (hiddur mitzvah) to use a nicer food for the bracha.<ref>Mishna Brurah 168:1, [https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/895272/rabbi-hershel-schachter/berachos-75-39a-over-leassiyasan-shechitah-maaseh-mitzvah-charoses-dropped-the-food/ Rav Schachter (Brachot Shiur 75 min 5)]. See Rabbenu Yonah 28a s.v. heviyu.

# 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).<ref> Mishna Berura 211:35 </ref> 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]].
