Question:
If one has two mezonos items to eat, and one is rice, should one make the bracha on the other item?
Answer:
Hello,
If the other item is mezonos because it is from the five grains, (Barley, Rye, Oats, Wheat, Spelt- "BROWS") then make the mezonos on them and have in mind that it includes the bracha on the rice. This is because the five grains are a more prominent type of food. Another reason is because there is controversy if rice if mezonos or hoadomo, although the minhag is to make mezonos on it, nevertheless it is still better to make the mezonos on something else.
Best wishes
