Text Excerpt

מתני׳ ״מן הכבוש״⁠ — אין אסור אלא מן הכבוש של ירק. ״כבוש שאני טועם״⁠ — אסור בכל הכבושים. ״מן השלוק״⁠ — אינו אסור אלא מן השלוק של בשר. ״שלוק שאני טועם״⁠ — אסור בכל השלוקים.

Mishnah: One who vows that pickled food is forbidden to him is prohibited from eating only pickled vegetables, as that is what people usually mean when referring to pickled food. However, if he says: Pickled food is konam for me, and for that reason I will not taste it, he is prohibited from tasting all pickled foods. Similarly, one who vows that boiled food is forbidden to him is prohibited from eating only boiled meat, as that is the common meaning of the expression boiled food. On the other hand, if he says: Boiled food is konam for me, and for that reason I will not taste it, he is prohibited from eating all boiled foods.

גמ׳ אמר ליה רב אחא בריה דרב אויא לרב אשי: אמר ״דכביש״, מאי? ״דשליק״, מאי? ״דצלי״, מאי? ״דמליח״, מאי? היכין משמע? תיבעי.

Talmud: Rav Aḥa, son of Rav Avya, said to Rav Ashi: If one said: That which is pickled is forbidden to me, what is the halakha? If one said: That which is boiled is forbidden to me, what is the halakha? If one said: That which is roasted is forbidden to me, what is the halakha? If one said: That which is salted is forbidden to me, what is the halakha? What do these expressions indicate? Do they refer to specific foods or to all foods prepared in these ways? The dilemma remains unresolved.

מתני׳ ״מן הצלי״⁠ — אין אסור אלא מן הצלי של בשר, דברי רבי יהודה. ״צלי שאני טועם״⁠ — אסור בכל הצלויים. ״מן המליח״⁠ — אין אסור אלא מן המליח של דג. ״מליח שאני טועם״⁠ — אסור בכל המלוחים.

Mishnah: One who vows that roasted food is forbidden to him is prohibited from eating only roasted meat; this is the statement of R' Yehuda. However, if one says: Roasted food is konam for me, and for that reason I will not taste it, he is prohibited from eating all roasted foods. One who vows that salted food is forbidden to him is prohibited from eating only salted fish, as that is the common meaning of the expression salted food. If, on the other hand, he says: Salted food is konam for me, and for that reason I will not taste it, he is prohibited from eating all salted foods.
