Brachah on the Remaining Tofel (Secondary Food)

When to Make a Brachah on Remaining Secondary Food 

When eating a mixture of two or more foods, the brachah is usually made on the ikar (primary food) and not on the tafel (secondary one). For example, when eating fries with ketchup, a brachah is made on the fries, but not on the ketchup. What is the halachah if some of the tafel is left over after the ikar has been eaten?  It depends on whether the ikar and tafel are considered one unit: If the items were cooked or baked together, or if when they were being prepared the intention was that they be eaten as one dish, then the secondary item remains secondary, and no brachah is made on it. However, if the original intent when preparing the food was to eat the items separately and they were combined afterwards, then a separate brachah is made on the tofel that remained. When eating ice cream in a plain cone (not a sugar cone), the brachah is made only on the ice cream, since the cone is considered secondary. If there is some of the cone left over, it’s questionable whether a brachah is called for; it is therefore preferable to finish eating the cone together with the ice cream. (When ice cream is served in a sugar cone made from grain, the brachah is made on the cone only—and that is mezonos).  #324?1
