שָׁאנֵי חֵלֶב, דִּמְפַעְפַּע.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: Forbidden **fat is different** from the sciatic nerve, **because** its flavor **permeates** throughout the animal, unlike that of the sciatic nerve.

וּבְחֵלֶב אָסוּר? וְהָאָמַר רַבָּה בַּר בַּר חָנָה: עוֹבָדָא הֲוָה קַמֵּיהּ דְּרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בִּכְנִישְׁתָּא דְמָעוֹן, בִּגְדִי שֶׁצְּלָאוֹ בְּחֶלְבּוֹ, וַאֲתוֹ וְשַׁיְילוּהּ לְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן, וְאָמַר: קוֹלֵף וְאוֹכֵל עַד שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ לְחֶלְבּוֹ! הָהוּא כָּחוּשׁ הֲוָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara challenges Rav Huna’s statement: **And** in the case of a kid roasted **with** its forbidden **fat,** is the meat **forbidden? But didn’t Rabba bar bar Ḥana say: There was an incident** that came **before Rabbi Yoḥanan in the synagogue of** the town of **Maon, where a young goat was roasted with its fat, and** the people **came and asked Rabbi Yoḥanan** about the status of the meat, **and he said: Peel** away the meat **and eat** it **until** you **reach the** forbidden **fat?** This indicates that the flavor of the fat does not permeate the entire animal in which it is roasted. The Gemara answers: **That** kid **was lean** and had so little fat that its flavor did not permeate throughout the animal.

רַב הוּנָא בַּר יְהוּדָה אָמַר: כּוּלְיָא בְּחֶלְבָּהּ הֲוָה, וְשַׁרְיַאּ. רָבִין בַּר רַב אַדָּא אָמַר: כִּילְכִּית בְּאִילְפָּס הֲוָה, וַאֲתוֹ שַׁיְילוּהּ לְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן, וַאֲמַר לְהוּ: לִיטְעֲמֵיהּ קַפִּילָא אֲרַמָּאָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Huna bar Yehuda said:** That **was** a case of **a kidney** of a young goat roasted **with its** forbidden **fat, and** Rabbi Yoḥanan **permitted it** to be eaten because there is a membrane that separates the fat from the kidney and prevents the fat from penetrating the kidney. **Ravin bar Rav Adda said:** That **was** a case of a small, non-kosher fish known as ***kilkhit*,** which fell **into a stewpot [*ilpas*], and they came** to **ask Rabbi Yoḥanan** about its status. **And he said to them: Let a gentile cook [*kapeila*] taste it** in order to determine whether the flavor of the non-kosher fish has permeated the entire mixture.

אָמַר רָבָא: מֵרֵישׁ הֲוָה קָא קַשְׁיָא לִי הָא דְּתַנְיָא: קְדֵרָה שֶׁבִּשֵּׁל בָּהּ בָּשָׂר – לֹא יְבַשֵּׁל בָּהּ חָלָב, וְאִם בִּשֵּׁל – בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם; תְּרוּמָה – לֹא יְבַשֵּׁל בָּהּ חוּלִּין, וְאִם בִּשֵּׁל – בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said: Initially that which is taught** in the following *baraita* posed **a difficulty for me:** With regard to **a pot in which one cooked meat, one may not cook milk in it; and if he did cook** milk in it, the meat absorbed by the pot renders the milk forbidden if it **imparts flavor** to the milk. Similarly, if one cooked ***teruma*** in a pot, one **may not cook non-sacred** food **in it; and if one did cook** non-sacred food in it, the absorbed *teruma* renders the food in the pot sacred if it **imparts flavor** to it.

בִּשְׁלָמָא תְּרוּמָה, טָעֵים לַהּ כֹּהֵן, אֶלָּא בָּשָׂר בְּחָלָב – מַאן טָעֵים לֵיהּ? הַשְׁתָּא דְּאָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: סָמְכִינַן אַקַּפִּילָא אֲרַמָּאָה, הָכָא נָמֵי סָמְכִינַן אַקַּפִּילָא אֲרַמָּאָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rava explains: **Granted,** in the case of a pot used for ***teruma*, a priest,** who is permitted to partake of *teruma*, **can taste** the non-sacred food subsequently cooked in the pot in order to determine whether the *teruma* imparted flavor to the non-sacred food. **But** in a case where it is not known whether **meat** imparted flavor **into milk, who can taste it?** If the meat did impart flavor to the milk, it would be forbidden for any Jew to consume the milk. But **now that Rabbi Yoḥanan said: We rely on a gentile cook** in the case of the *kilkhit*, **here also we rely on a gentile cook** to taste it and say whether the meat has imparted flavor to the milk.

דְּאָמַר רָבָא: אֲמוּר רַבָּנַן בְּטַעְמָא, וַאֲמוּר רַבָּנַן בְּקַפִּילָא,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara summarizes the guidelines that determine when an item cooked with another item affects the status of the mixture. **Rava said: The Sages said** that there are cases where one relies **on** a Jew **tasting** the food, **and the Sages said** that there are some cases where one relies **on** a gentile **cook** to taste the food,
