One Who When Saying the Beracha Had in Mind to Eat More Than What was in Front of Him

One Who When Saying the Beracha Had in Mind to Eat More Than What was in Front of Him
Day: Tuesday
Date: February 2, 2016
Parshat: Mishpatim
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 206


One who in his own home is served fruit should ideally have in mind that the beracha he will say will include any fruit with the same beracha that will be served afterward. If he had that in mind, no new beracha is said on any subsequent fruit eaten during that sitting. If he did not have that in mind or if he did not intend to eat any more fruit, there is a difference of opinion whether a new beracha is necessary or not. In order to avoid the possibility of saying a beracha in vain, no new beracha is said in that case. It is important to note that even though no new beracha is said, it is still best to always have in mind to include any more fruit will be brought so as to avoid any mahloket. One who is a guest at someone else's house does not make a new beracha on anything subsequently served to him if it has the same beracha as what he already had - regardless of what he had in mind.
