Continuing a meal once chametz is prohibited

Question

One starts a bread meal on the morning of erev pesach. One finishes eating all of the bread (and removes all crumbs etc.) before the end of the day's fourth hour, but wants to continue the meal by eating food which is kasher le-pesach after that time.

Would one need to make blessings on the food which he is now eating?

Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 177:1 rules that foods which are eaten as part of a meal to accompany the bread (even if not actually eaten with the bread) do not need their own blessing, as the hamotzi exempts them.

But in this case, you are not allowed to eat the bread any more, so maybe these foods can no longer be considered to be "accompanying" the bread, in which they case they would need their own blessings?

Answer 1

As DoubleAA pointed out, this seems to be a case of one who "withdraws his hands from the bread" and needs to make a new beracha before continuing the meal.

O.C. 177:2:

ודברים הבאים לאחר סעודה קודם ברכת המזון שהיה מנהג בימות חכמי הגמרא שבסוף הסעודה היו מושכים ידיהם מן הפת ומסירים אותו וקובעים עצמם לאכול פירות ולשתות כל מה שמביאים אז לפניהם בין דברים הבאים מחמת הסעודה בין דברים הבאים שלא מחמת הסעודה טעונים ברכה בין לפניהם ובין לאחריהם דהמוציא וברכת המזון אין פוטרתן אלא מה שנאכל תוך עיקר הסעודה ודין זה האחרון אינו מצוי בינינו לפי שאין אנו רגילין למשוך ידינו מן הפת עד ברכת המזון:

Things that come after the meal before Birchas HaMazon - it was the practice in the times of the Sages of the Gemara that at the end of the meal they would withdraw their hands from the bread, and would remove it, and they would set themselves to eat fruits and to drink - everything that they bring out then, both things that are brought because of the meal and things that are brought not because of the meal, need a beracha both before and after them, because the HaMotzi and Birchas HaMazon only exempt what is eaten during the main meal. This last halacha is not common by us, since we are not accustomed to withdraw our hands from the bread until Birchas HaMazon.

Answer 2

The Dirshu Mishna Berurah quotes Shu't Cheshev Ha'Efod, vol 3 #10 this is not considered akiras hashulchan since one is not doing this to interrupt and end the meal, but only in order to eat the fish and meat without any chance of chametz. They also quote R' Shlomo Zalman Aurbach in Shvus Yitzchok, Pesach, page 111, as saying this does not constitute an end to the meal, and all the food is considered part of the meal.

Halichos Shlomo on hilchos Pesach also quotes R' S.Z.A. explicitly saying one does not need to make brachos on the food eaten after the time of issue chametz as those foods are a continuation of the meal.
