# 1597 Let Them Eat Cake

If the food is permitted, Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 210: 2) rules that on tasting food, when the food is not swallowed you don’t recite a blessing, even when significant quantities are involved, such as a mother chewing food and then feeding it to her child. (Mishna Berura ibid. 18).

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that even when the food is absorbed by the tongue or the palate, you do not recite a brocho.
