# As long as one didn’t have a hesech hadaat (interruption of thought) one doesn’t need to make a new Bracha Rishona.<ref> Magen Avraham 184:9 and 190:3 holds that if someone waited a shiur ikul, the amount of time that it takes to digest one's food, after eating, he cannot recite a bracha achrona and needs a new bracha rishona if he wants to eat more. However, the Even Haozer (to Magen Avraham 184:9) disagrees and holds that shiur ikul is only relevant to the bracha achrona, but he doesn't need a new bracha rishona. Mishna Brurah 184:17 and Biur Halacha 190:2 s.v. achar seems to side with the Even Haozer and achronim who disagree with Magen Avraham. This is also the view of Vezot Habracha p. 53 based on Biur Halacha.</ref> | # As long as one didn’t have a hesech hadaat (interruption of thought) one doesn’t need to make a new Bracha Rishona.<ref> Magen Avraham 184:9 and 190:3 holds that if someone waited a shiur ikul, the amount of time that it takes to digest one's food, after eating, he cannot recite a bracha achrona and needs a new bracha rishona if he wants to eat more.

Biur Halacha 190:2 s.v. yivarech quotes Rabbi Akiva Eiger that this is only true if he thought halachically he needed to recite a bracha achrona. But if he made a mistake and thought he didn't have more food and then realized he did, his bracha achrona is effective and he needs a new bracha rishona to eat more. Also, the Maamar Mordechai and Bigdei Yesha completely disagree with Magen Avraham and hold that after a bracha achrona a new bracha rishona is necessary to eat again. Biur Halacha leaves the issue unresolved. Chazon Ovadia p. 178 is concerned for the Magen Avraham because of the principle of safek brachot lehakel.</ref> | ||
