היו יושבים. בלא הסיבה, וסימן הוא שלא נתועדו לאכול יחד. שרגילים היו כשמתועדים חבורות אנשים לאכול שהיו מסובים על המטות ואוכלים ושותים בהסבת שמאל:
כל אחד מברך לעצמו. שלא היה להם קבע סעודה בלא הסיבה. ומיהו אם אמרו ניזיל ניכול נהמא בדוכתא פלן, אע״פ שלא הסיבו כהסיבו דמי, ואחד מברך לכולם ומצטרפין נמי לזימון:
בא להם יין בתוך המזון כל אחד מברך לעצמו. הואיל ואין בית הבליעה פנוי ואין לב המסובים פונה אל המברך אלא לבלוע מה שבפיהם. א״נ חיישינן שמא יחנק כשבא לענות אמן:
והוא אומר על המוגמר. המברך ברכת המזון הוא מברך על המוגמר בורא עצי בשמים. ואע״ג דאיכא דעדיף מיניה אפ״ה כיון דאתחיל בחדא עביד לאידך:
לאחר הסעודה. לאחר ברכת המזון, דהשתא לאו מצרכי הסעודה הוא, אפ״ה כיון שהתחיל בברכות אחרונות גומרן:
מוגמר. רגילין היו להביא אחר הסעודה עצי בשמים במחתה על האש לריח טוב:

Bartenura
מליח – every salty thing.
שהפת טפלה לו – Whomever ate a large meal [consisting of] extremely sweet fruits, eats afterwards something salty to sever the moisture that is stuck is attached in his body on account of the large amount of fruits [consumed], and because he is incapable of eating something salty alone, he eats from the bread with it. But the salty [food] alone is essential and the bread is secondary to it.
מליח. כל דבר מלוח:
שהפת טפלה לו. מי שאכל אכילה גסה מפירות מתוקים ביותר אוכל אחריו דבר מליח לחתך הליחות הנדבקות בגופו מחמת רוב הפירות, ומפני שאינו יכול לאכול המליח לבדו אוכל מן הפת עמו. אבל המליח לבדו עיקר והפת טפלה לו:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

היו יושבין – Without reclining and the sign is that they were not gathered to eat together, since it was customary when groups of people gather together to eat, they would recline on couches and eat and drink while leaning to the left.
כל אחד מברך לעצמו – For they did not have an established meal without reclining. However, if they said: “Let us go and eat bread in a certain place,” even though they did not recline, it is as if they had reclined, and one makes the blessing for (i.e. on behalf of) everyone and they join together also for the invitation [to recite ברכת המזון/The Blessing after the Meal].
בא להם מים בתוך המזון כל אחד מברך לעצמו – Since the esophagus is not free, and the hearts of those leaning are not facing the individual who is making the blessing, other than to swallow what is in their mouths. If so, there is concern lest a person choke when he comes to answer “Amen” [to the blessing recited].
והוא אומר על המוגמר – He who recites ברכת המזון/The Blessing After the Meal, he is the one reciting a blessing on the spices on perfume, “who creates the trees of spices/בורא עצי בשמים”, and even though that there is one that is preferable to it, even so, since he began with one, he would move to the other.
לאחר הסעודה – After [reciting] ברכת המזון, that currently is not [connected to] the needs of the meal, even so, since he has begun reciting other blessings, he should finish them.
מוגמר – they were accustomed to bring trees of spices/perfume after the meal snuff-dishes on a fire for the purposes [of providing] a good smell.
