If I start making a bracha over my pasta accidentally intending to say Shehakol (let's say I made the mistake because I normally just have a milkshake for lunch, not pasta, and I didn't put any thought into it), but I realize my mistake immediately after the shem umalchut ("Baruch Atah, H', Eloh', Melech HaOlam"), can I finish with "Borei minei mezonot" without having made a bracha levatella or transgressed in any way?
At what point is it too late to change my bracha in the following circumstances, and what do I do if I pass that point?
Should be mezonot but I start intending to say:
- shehakol? (an appropriate bracha for pasta, at least bediavad)
- ha'etz? (totally inappropriate for pasta, but starts with the same word [borei])
- motzi? (both inappropriate and does not share any words)
- al nitilat yadayim? (so far out of bounds, it's not even funny)
- shelo chisar? (ok, that one is kind of funny)
Are there finer distinctions that I'm missing? Does it make a difference that this is over food versus a different type of bracha?
