Reply To: Waiter’s finger was in my my soup!

Health – “What’s the question, acc. to you? It was Never Ossur!”

(1) I stated that it is muttar for a goy. The Radbaz is mattir it for a JEW in circumstances of need.

(2) I stated several times that for a Jew, it is ossur midrabbon (or according to some Rishonim e.g. Rambam – it is ossur min haTorah.

For a GOY – it was never ossur to eat human flesh according to many Rishonim and poskim.

Think about it for a minute, to chew and swallow a piece of your own dead skin (near fingernail) – is that “disgusting”? Morally repugnant?

Yet you are consuming part of your own body!

And would you say it is ossur to chew and swallow the piece of hanging dead skin?!

(I take back that last question, it DOESN’T MATTER whay you or I say – all that matters is what halacha says).
