Question
If someone ate food before the meal that requires the blessing 'Shehakol', do they need to say the blessing 'Bore Nefashot', or is it sufficient with Birkat Hamazon?
Answer
If it is food that one blesses during the meal, and he also ate it during the meal, it is covered by Birkat Hamazon. If not, he should bless Bore Nefashot.
