Question
Ate couscous and chicken, and by mistake recited Grace After Meals. Does this fulfill the obligation of the final blessing for the couscous and chicken?
Answer
In the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim, Siman 208), it is explained that unlike Pat Kisnin, in the case of a cooked dish, one does not fulfill the obligation. However, the Mishnah Berurah there cites that later authorities disagree and one should not repeat the blessing, as ruled by the Kaf HaChaim based on the Perach Hadash and the Mahazik Bracha. Nevertheless, since this is not a meal, it certainly does not exempt the chicken, as it is not secondary to the couscous.
