I have a large onion say it's about 4 in
long and I cut it in half with a meat
knife the meat knife had not been used
for 24 hours and I have half the onion
left over can I use that second half of
the onion can I serve it with a uh Dairy
meal so the rule by a by an onion is
even if the knife had not been used for
24 hours we consider the taste that's
absorbed is it always to be considered
fresh regarding onions because onions
are spicy food and even if everything is
cold we say that the onion is considered
now meat and it may not be served with
dairy however there is an interesting
ruling of
the that according toim only the inch
closest to where the knife touched
became meat let's say in our example
there was 2 in of onion the further the
first inch away from the knife would
remain P however FR ashkan ASM the
custom is that we don't differentiate
and we consider the whole onion to be
meat
and this is not to Le to confusion so we
just we don't differentiate the entire
half of the onion should not be used
with a dairy meal
