B. Foods that are on the table – Repeating the blessing for other foods which were on the table when the blessing was recited:[1]

If at the time that one recited the original blessing there were other foods in front of him[2] of a similar blessing, or if there was in front of him a Tafel food to the first Ikkur food even if it is of a different blessing[3], then a second blessing is not to be repeated upon eating the second food that is in front of him. This applies even if one did not have in mind to eat the second food that was in front of him at the time that he recited the original blessing, and applies even if one has already finished eating the original food over which the blessing was recited[4] and even if the second food is not similar to the first food at all, but simply shares the same blessing. [Due to Safek, this applies even if the second food is a more significant food, however, initially, one should have a more significant food specifically in mind to include it within the blessing, as explained in D!]

• For example – Apple & Orange:[5] If one had an apple and orange in front of him and he recited a Haeitz on the apple without intent to also eat the orange and then decided to also eat the orange, then a blessing is not repeated upon eating the orange even if he begins eating the orange after having completed the eating of the apple.
• Water & Meat: If one recited a Shehakol on a cup of water and at the time that he said the blessing there was a piece of meat on the table, then a blessing is not repeated upon eating the meat even if he begins eating the meat after having completed the drinking of the water.

If had Hesech Hadas to second food: If one had a food in front of him when he said a blessing on another food with the same blessing and decided not to eat the food in front of him and then changed his mind to eat the food in front of him, is a new blessing required? For example, one said Shehakol on tea, with marshmallows in front of him, declined an offer of marshmallows and then decided to eat them, is a blessing required before eating the marshmallows? Tzaruch Iyun, however, seemingly not, as Hesech Hadaas has not taken place to the original blessing and its food.

[2] If the food was in its set area of storage: See Vezos Habracha 7 and Piskeiy Teshuvos ibid footnote 71 that this only applies if the foods were prepared for eating and are not simply sitting in the fridge or counter where they always remain

[3] See Seder 3:8 that a Tafel is exempt with the blessing of an Ikkur even if eaten after the Ikkur
