Reply To: What would you say? – Hilchos Brochos

“Although the eating is the mechayav, are you sure that the brocho hasn’t taken effect until you actually begin eating?”
It has to be that way (according to this svara that the bracha of mezonos is still “chal” on the rice even after the al hamichya) Otherwise, anytime someone makes a Mezonos on a regular mezonos product and he has in mind that his bracha should cover any foods he will eat that have the bracha on Mezonos (as the Rema says that one should have in mind), then after he makes an al hamichya, if he wants to eat rice at some point later on, he wouldn’t make a new bracha, since his original bracha is still “chal” since the al himichya didn’t end it. That is ridiculous! I don’t think that anyone would say that.
