[If] one recited on fruits of the tree the blessing: ‘‘. . .Who creates the fruit of the ground,’’ he has fulfilled his obligation. But [if] on fruits of the earth [one recited the blessing]: ‘‘. . .Who creates the fruit of the tree,’’ he has not fulfilled his obligation. And on all of them, if one said [the blessing]: ‘‘. . . that everything came into being . . .,’’ he has fulfilled his obligation.

On something which does not grow from the earth, one says [the blessing of] Shehakol. On wine vinegar, and on unripe fruits, and on locusts, one says [the blessing of] Shehakol. On milk, and on cheese, and on eggs, one says [the blessing of] Shehakol. R’ Yehudah says: Any [food] which is a species of curse, we do not recite a blessing on it.

[If] there were many species [of food] before him, R’ Yehudah says: If there is among them [one] of the Seven Species, he recites the blessing over it. But the Sages say: He re-cites the blessing over whichever one of them he prefers.

[If] one recited a blessing on the wine which precedes the meal, he has discharged [his obligation for] the wine which follows the meal. [If] one recited a blessing over the parperes which precedes the meal, he has dis-charged [his obligation for] the parperes which follows the meal. [If] one recited a blessing on the bread, he has discharged [his obligation for] the parperes; [but if one recited a blessing] on the parperes, he has not discharged [his obli-gation for] the bread. Beis Shammai say: [He has] not even [discharged his obligation] for porridge.
