Question
Is leben considered a food or a drink? Should the time for the blessing after consumption be measured by the volume of a k'zayit for food or a revi'it for drink?
Answer
If it is mixed and liquid, it is considered a drink, and its measure is by the volume of a revi'it for drink. If it is thick, it is food, and a blessing is recited after it by the volume of a k'zayit for food.
