#5309 A Blessed Brocho?

Question

Does the Mezonos bracha that one recites during a Shabbath Kidush, include and exempts from all the other foods included later in that kidush, such as cholent, potatoes or desert?

Answer

Although the eating of cakes or similar Mezonos items is necessary for having the proper value of the necessary Kiddush Bemokom Seuda, it is not the same as chalah or bread and does not provide the brocho exemption for all other foods.
