face=Arial>From: cantorwolberg@cox.net<BR>>>There is an interesting
exception, however. If such <BR>>>foods are eaten together with bread they
will not require their own <BR>>>blessing. So although fruit eaten as a
dessert requires its own <BR>>>blessing one would not recite a blessing on
the fruit if one eats the <BR>>>fruit with bread in every
bite.<BR><BR><BR>I recall this and even as a child, it seemed to be
artificial.<BR>To say that you have to make the brocho on fruit <BR>and that the
motzi didn't cover it, but as long as you<BR>have the bread with the fruit, then
you are exempted <BR>from making the brocho begs the question. It
almost<BR>appears to be some type of fabrication. <BR><BR>.... It is
totally illogical. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>>>>>></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The reasoning is something like this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bread IS the meal and the reason you don't have to make brachos on
everything else is that everything else comes to accompany the bread.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fruit is dessert and dessert is not part of the meal, so requires a
separate bracha. Unless you are still eating bread, in which case the
fruit /is/ part of the meal and doesn't need a separate bracha.</DIV>
