If one already blessed a food that should have come second (b'dieved), is the bracha valid, or must one re-bless the food that should have come first?
Synopsis
The Rema rules that if one already blessed the food that should have come second, one is yotzei (fulfilled the obligation) b'dieved and need not re-bless the first food — provided the brachot are the same and one had intention to include the first food in the blessing.
