Question
A person ate, and 72 minutes have passed. He is unsure whether he is still satisfied and can bless or if he is no longer satisfied.
Answer
If he ate bread, he should wash his hands without a blessing, bless on the bread, eat half a slice, and then bless Birkat Hamazon. If he ate pastries, he should bless again on the pastries, eat more, and bless the final blessing. If he has no more bread, he should bless, but not on pastries.
