Question

What is the measure of establishing a meal, for which one must bless on mezonot, perform hand washing, say the blessing on bread, and Birkat Hamazon?

Answer

One should not eat more than a volume of 216 cc (the measure of 4 eggs, with each egg being 54 cc), which is slightly more than a disposable cup of 180 cc. (Other items that accompany the bread do not combine with this measure). Nevertheless, one does not bless Birkat Hamazon until eating a measure of 800 cc, which is approximately 3/4 of a milk bag. (Other items that accompany the bread do combine with this measure).
