Question
Hello, A person got into his car and said the blessing 'Shehakol' on water. He drank on the way. He arrived at his destination and remembered that he did not say 'Borei Nefashot'. About 30 minutes have passed since drinking the water. Now the person wants to eat another food that requires the blessing 'Shehakol' (for example, a dessert). Should he first say 'Borei Nefashot' for the water in the car?
Answer
Hello
Since he continued the journey, there is no problem, and he can say 'Borei Nefashot' at the place where he is.
If he wants to eat something else that requires the blessing 'Shehakol', and if he initially intended to eat it, or thought he might eat more [as is common for someone in the middle of a journey who occasionally eats or drinks], he does not need to say 'Shehakol' again. Certainly, he should not say 'Borei Nefashot'.
However, even if he did not intend to continue eating, if he wants to eat now, he should say 'Shehakol', and only after eating should he say 'Borei Nefashot'.
