===Bracha Achrona on other foods===

# If one ate any food and is full, preferably one should make Bracha Achrona within 72 minutes and after the fact, one may make it as long as one is full from what one ate. However, after 72 minutes, if one is a little hungry, one can no longer make the Bracha Achrona. <Ref> S"A 184:5, Mishna Brurah 184:19, Vezot HaBracha (pg 49-50, chapter 5) </ref>
