Order of Brachot
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>
==Foods of different Brachot==
==Foods of different Brachot==
# If you have two foods of different Brachot, the order of the Brachot is as follows: HaMotzei, Mezonot (5 grains and then rice), HaGefen, HaEtz, HaAdama, and then Shehakol. (The acronym to remember this is Maga Esh). <Ref>Rama 211:4,5 writes that HaMotzei precedes Mezonot which in turn precedes HaGefen. S”A 211:3 writes that HaEtz or HaAdama take precedence over Shehakol, and quotes an opinion that HaEtz precedes HaAdama, which the Mishna Brurah 211:18 in the name of the Achronim accept as halacha. Mishna Brurah 211:35 summaries it as says that the order is HaMotzei, Mezonot, HaEtz, HaAdama, and Shehakol. This is also codified in Vezot HaBracha (pg 124-5, chapter 13). </ref>
