# The bracha for regular (thick) guacamole if eaten alone is HaEtz according to many opinions and [[Shehakol]] according to others. However, in the unusual case that the guacamole is very thin like a liquid the Bracha should be [[Shehakol]]. <ref> The Shaarei HaBracha (chap 23, pg 630) writes that if guacamole is blended and liquidy the Bracha is [[Shehakol]], however, if it is still has pieces of avocado it is HaEtz. In the footnote (#470) he writes that even if it is liquidy theoretically it should be HaEtz (since avocado is usually blended, see Mishna Brurah 202:44) but concludes that he can not rule definitively that it should be HaEtz and remains with his above ruling to say [[Shehakol]] (because it is like a drink). Similarly, the Peni HaShulchan 202:7(1) (pg 83) writes that guacamole is HaEtz because the texture of the avocado is recognizable unless it is blended and is so thin like a liquid in which case it would be [[Shehakol]]. However, Piskei Teshuvot (Siman 202 note 87, pg 691) writes that guacamole is [[Shehakol]] since it is mixed in with other ingredients such as onions. In Siman 202:20 he writes that potato kugel or latkes are [[Shehakol]] since eggs and other ingredients are mixed in. </ref> | # The bracha for regular (thick) guacamole if eaten alone is HaEtz according to many opinions and [[Shehakol]] according to others.

# The bracha on macaroons are shehakol even for Sephardim.<Ref>Otzrot Hahalacha Habracha Vhilchoteha p. 115 writes that the bracha for macaroons are shehakol even though there's pieces of coconut in them. He quotes the this is the ruling of Rav Ovadia Yosef (Yosef Bracha p. 21), Birkat Hashem v. 3 p. 96, and Rav Elyashiv (Vezot Habracha p. 377). He explains from Rav Gideon Ben Moshe that since its taste and name changed the bracha changed (Shevet Hakehati 4:63).</ref> | |||
