Question
Hello, A person who eats a meal with crackers, from what quantity of crackers is he obligated to recite Birkat Hamazon? The crackers are round with the diameter of a large coffee cup.
Answer
Hello,
There is a disagreement among the poskim whether one is obligated to recite Birkat Hamazon from the amount of 4 eggs [approximately 220 ml], or from the amount of a full meal which is about 800 ml.
Therefore, one should avoid eating the smaller amount [-approximately the volume of a large coffee cup], but if one did eat, they should not recite Birkat Hamazon unless they ate the larger amount [-about three-quarters of a milk bag].
