Question
Ate mezonot before the meal and then washed hands and ate bread. What is the ruling regarding the final blessing?
Answer
If he intends to eat also during the meal or what he ate before the meal was doubtful bread (like most mezonot), then he should not recite the 'Me'ein Shalosh' blessing. If it was definite mezonot and he does not wish to eat more mezonot during the meal, he should recite the final blessing during the meal. If he already recited Birkat Hamazon, he has fulfilled his obligation in any case.
