Question
What is mentioned about someone who plans to set out on a journey and blesses while still at home on items that do not require a blessing after eating at their place, that it is already considered that he is on his way and does not need to bless again outside. What is the ruling if he intends to go out, blesses, and then needs to use the restroom, delaying at home for another fifteen minutes? And what is the ruling in a car, is it considered as travelers or as being inside a house? And is there a difference if he plans to eat only in the car while driving or if he plans to eat only in the car but only when the car is parked?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
A. If he blessed while intending to set out, even if he was delayed for some reason, he can continue to eat on the way.
B. If he intended to eat while traveling in the car, he can eat even when he exits the car.
