# 3691 Process the Bless

Question

Hello Rav, If I start to make a Borei Peri Ha’adama on a cucumber and I’ve said everything except the ending "Borei Peri Hadama", then realize I’ve already said that bracha and that cucumber is already covered, can I quickly take another food type (e.g. a cracker) and finish the bracha with that food’s bracha (eg. "borei minei mezonot"). If I don’t then I’ve said a Bracha Levalatala, so what is the best option?

Any difference for Sephardim?

Thanks

Answer

On similar question 3621 regarding what to do when you are in the middle of a bracha and realize you’ve already said it or you need say a different bracha than the one you originally had in mind to say. For example, when one going to drink some Coke drink said "Baruch Attah Hashem", but then realized that one already said a Shehakol that covered it.

We answered:

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the best choice in this difficult situation is to end the bracha of Shehakol and eat a very small piece of the chips (that were present there).
