3. Food combination questions (3 of the issues this week involved food combinations. In all 3 cases, people were making an assumption that was probably incorrect, and in case, should have been asked and not assumed, since they didn’t know the relevant halachos. The 3 foods were: Kif Kaf (Israeli version of Kit Kat), cookies and cream ice cream, and butternut squash soup.
4. If you continually drink water over an extended period of time, when do you make a bracha achrona?
5. If you drink wine during a meal, do you say a bracha? Which bracha?
6. Should you wash on one slice of pizza? In the US? In Israel? In another country? In what year? (This is not a simple question, and the halacha may have changed over the years, and may be different in different countries, and there are probably different opinions).
7. Other Pas haba bikisnin sheilahs – which foods are pas haba bikisnin (again, that is not simple, and may be different in different countries and at different times and may depend who you ask)? How much do you have to have to bentch? What if you eat less than 3/4 k’baitzas but you eat it with another food (for example, crackers with tuna) as a meal, and you are satiated? (I believe that R’ Moshe Zatsal and R’Shlomo Zalman zatsal posken differently)
