Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

ברכות מא,א

A fruit we make a separate brocho on it at the meal but we pater it with bentching. Why? The fruit is not eaten with bread but it is part of the meal.

In SA O’CH 211,4 explains that the pasuk Devorim (8,5) that praises Eretz Yisroel with the seven minim has two words of eretz one the beginning and one at end. Whatever comes earlier in the second half is more chashuv than the later in the first half and would be preceded to be eaten first with the same brocho. Dates come before grapes as dates are the second next to the second eretz which is honey from dates whereas grapes are the third to the first eretz. If they are equal distance from eretz such as such as cooked wheat and olives, the wheat should come before olives.
The RMA says there mozonos dish comes before wine and therefore al hamichya is before wine.
Since wheat or barley is before grapes.
