#VALUE!
When someone has eaten food requiring a 'Mei'ein Shalosh' blessing and food requiring a 'Borei Nefashot' blessing, which one should be recited first?
If one ate from the seven species and fruits not among the seven species, one recites 'Al Ha'etz Ve'al Pri Ha'etz' which covers everything.
If one ate from the seven species and drank juice or ate meat, etc., one recites 'Mei'ein Shalosh' first and then 'Borei Nefashot'.
If one ate fruits from the seven species and vegetables, one recites 'Borei Nefashot' first and then 'Mei'ein Shalosh'. If one mistakenly recited 'Mei'ein Shalosh' first, one should not recite 'Borei Nefashot' over the vegetables since they are already covered by mentioning 'Tnuvat Hasadeh' [Chazon Ovadia p. 202].
