Question
There are hot cutlets and cold cutlets in front of me on the table. Is there a law that I should recite a blessing on the hot cutlets first?
Answer
Certainly, it is apparent that the hot cutlets are more preferable, and therefore one should recite a blessing on them.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Laws of Blessing on Fruits, Siman 211, Paragraph 1: "If there are many types of fruits before him, if their blessings are the same and among them is one of the seven species, he gives precedence to the species of the seven, even if it is not as preferable as the other species; and if there is none of the seven species among them, he gives precedence to the more preferable one."
