Question

I want to eat Pat Haba B'Kisnin in the amount that requires Grace After Meals. Do I need to eat it all within the time frame of 'Achilat Pras'? And what is the ruling if there was a pause in eating during 'Achilat Pras'?

Answer

Certainly, it is not necessary to eat everything within the time frame of 'Achilat Pras', as it is not feasible, since Pras is 3, which is 162 cc, or 4 eggs, which is 216 cc, and establishing a meal on Pat Haba B'Kisnin, according to the Mishnah Berurah, requires a larger amount like an evening or morning meal, and our teacher the Rabbi explained that it is about 800 cc. Even if there was a pause and nothing was eaten in the middle of 'Achilat Pras', one still needs to recite Grace After Meals, as with bread. However, one kezayit must be eaten within 'Achilat Pras'.
