Question
Hello, Regarding the laws of precedence in blessings for two types of food when their blessings are the same, what is the law in the case where I have two slices of bread of the same type but spread with two different spreads, and one spread is more preferred by me than the other? Does the law of preference apply here, and should I bless the one I prefer even if the second slice is larger? (And if so, is it specifically for the spread or also if there is a slice of cheese on it, etc., which does not mix with the bread, since ultimately that slice is more preferred by me) Or, since the blessing is on the bread and the spread is secondary, is the preference of the bread considered separately, and in such a case, the breads are equal (and therefore, one would need to bless the larger one). May you succeed in increasing and glorifying the Torah. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
The food does not become preferred due to the addition that is secondary to it.
