Question
I recited the 'Mezonot' blessing on rice. Does this blessing exempt pastries that also require the 'Mezonot' blessing (if they were in front of me at the time of the blessing and I intended from the start to eat them)?
Answer
For Ashkenazim: If you explicitly intended to exempt the pastries, you do not need to bless again on the pastries. However, if you did not explicitly intend to exempt the pastries, the blessing on the rice does not exempt them. You must bless again on the pastries unless the rice is more preferable to you, and then, after the fact, you do not bless again even if you did not explicitly intend.
For Sephardim, the blessing on rice exempts the pastries.
