Eating a Doughnut During a Meal
Question
I washed my hands and started eating, but I did not intend to exempt the doughnuts, and now I want to eat 2 doughnuts or a single doughnut that does not have an oily taste. What should I do?
Answer
If you eat them for satiation, they are exempt with 'Hamotzi'. If you eat them for pleasure, exempt them with something that definitely requires the blessing of 'Mezonot', such as 'Kariot' cereals, etc., which have the three conditions of 'Pat Haba Bekisnin'. They are also eaten for pleasure and not for satiation.
