Reply To: Bracha on Corn Bread

See, the problem to me, is that my rules just don’t seem to work in this case.

Let’s start from the beginning.

1. It is probably mezonos/hamotzi as opposed to shehakol, even though it is mostly corn, since the grains take over and become automatic ikkar.

2. It is pas, not maaseh kedeira.

3. So is it pas, or pas kisnin? Well, let’s do our 3 tests:

3A. Is it crispy? No.

3B. Is it filled with fruit or garbage? No.

3C. Is it nilosh with mei peiros or shuman? Well, that’s an issue.

(the fake milk has water).

Seems it is mostly nilosh with egg and sunflower. But still, it does not taste mostly like egg and sunflower, it tastes mostly like ???- if you include the corn taste. So I don’t think that tree is the right way to bark.

But what about the corn? Do we just say that the corn is battul to the wheat and the only question is there is more milk and egg taste or more wheat and corn taste? Or does the wheat itself have to be stronger than the egg and milk (which is bizarre, since the wheat is weaker than the corn!)?

I still dunno. I made hamotzi, like the OU website said to. But I’m still not completely convinced.
