Brachos 6:4-5

Brachos 6:4

If a person has many different types of foods in front of him, Rabbi Yehuda says that if one of them is of the seven species for which Israel is renowned (wheat, barley, grapes, olives, figs, dates and pomegranates), then he should recite the blessing over that first. The Sages say that one may recite the blessing over whichever food he prefers first.

Brachos 6:5

If one recited a blessing over wine before a meal started, it includes any wine that is brought at the end of the meal. If he recited a blessing over an appetizer before the meal, it covers that food at the end of the meal. If one recites the blessing of HaMotzi over bread, it exempts the appetizers but the blessing over appetizers does not exempt the bread. Beis Shammai adds that the blessing over appetizers also does not exempt the entrees.

The word parperes, rendered here as “appetizer,” is generally accepted to refer to a food eaten with bread at the start or end of the meal. This could be meat, fish, or vegetables, among other things. “Maaseh k’deira,” literally “a cooked food” (rendered here as “entrée”) would be a grain dish.
