# 1286 Ha-Mentaschen but no Ha-Motzi
Question
K’vod Harav,
Q. I would like to know the Rav’s opinion if one should make a bracha on hamantaschen during a bread meal, and if so - if it matters whether one is eating them at the beginning of the meal or at the end.
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s opinion is that homentashen are unlike, ice-creams and other desserts that one consumes primarily for their sweet and special pleasant taste, even when one is not hungry. Homentashen are eaten also because they are filling and are therefore included in the hamotzi brocho, regardless if eaten at the beginning, during or after the meal.
