    1. Title: Is Ice Cream a Solid or a Liquid?
      Author: Chaim Simons
      Reply

      When one puts ice cream into one’s mouth it is a solid but it turns into a liquid in one’s mouth before one swallows it. This could have ramifications on whether one says a berachah on it when it is eaten as a dessert during a meal which has begun with hamotzi. It is the general practice not to say a berachah on liquids drunk even towards the end of a meal. Therefore what is the halachah regarding ice cream eaten as a dessert? Today’s poskim are divided on whether one says a berachah on it. [see Rav Alexander Mandlebaum, Vezos Haberachah p.74 fn.12]
