Question
I ate vegetables at home and recited the first blessing, intending to continue eating outside. Can I continue eating without a blessing?
Answer
If during your initial eating at home, you ate calmly and it was not apparent that you intended to leave, you cannot continue eating without a blessing, as this is considered a "change of place" for items that do not require a blessing in their place. Therefore, according to those who follow the Shulchan Aruch, you should first recite the final blessing in your place for what you have already eaten, and then the first blessing on the vegetables you intend to eat outside. Those who follow the Rema recite only the first blessing, and when they finish eating, they recite the final blessing, which will also apply to what was eaten at home. However, if from the beginning of your eating it was apparent that you intended to leave, you have the law of travelers, who do not have a change of place, and you can continue eating without a blessing.
