(Mishnah): If one vowed not to eat things made in a pot, only Ma'ase Rasachta (what needs much cooking) is forbidden;

If he said 'Konam, I will not taste what enters a pot', he may not eat anything cooked in a pot.

[If one vowed] 'from the pickled', only pickled vegetables are included. 'I will not taste pickled (food)', he is forbidden all pickled foods.

'From Shaluk', only Shaluk meat is forbidden. R. Yehudah says so. 'I will not taste Shaluk' - he is forbidden everything Shaluk.

'From roasted', only roasted meat is forbidden. R. Yehudah says so. 'I will not taste roasted' - he is forbidden everything roasted.

(Gemara) Question: What is Ma'ase Rasachta (what needs much cooking)?

Answer: It is like wheat cut into two, three or four pieces, fine flour, rice, Zarid (an herb) or flour from old barley.

[If he vowed] from 'what enters a pot', he is forbidden what enters a [frying] pan. From 'what enters a pan', he is permitted what enters a pot, for everything that enters a pan, [first] it enters (is cooked in) a pot (this was the custom), but some things enter a pot, and do not enter a pan.

What do you have [that enters a pot, but does not enter a pan]? E.g. fish brine.

If one vowed 'from what is baked in an oven', he is forbidden only bread. From 'what is made in an oven', he is forbidden everything made in an oven.

(Mishnah): [If he vowed] 'from the salted', he is forbidden only salted fish. 'I will not taste salted (food)', he is forbidden all salted food.

'I will not taste Dag Dagim' - he is forbidden whether it is big or small, whether salted or unsalted, whether raw and cooked, and he is permitted minced fish and fish brine.

If one vowed from Tzachanah (tiny fish, and/or fish parts), he is forbidden minced fish, and permitted brine and fish oil. If he vowed from minced fish, he is permitted brine and fish oil.

(Gemara) Assumption: 'Salted' is to be permanent (greatly salted so it will last a long time), but if was for a short time, no.

Rebuttal (R. Yudan): Since our Mishnah taught 'Harei Alai like salted meat' [and it is forbidden if he intended for Korbanos, which are salted before Haktarah] or 'like Yayin Nesech', this teaches that salted for a short time is called salted.

Question: What is salted for a short time?

Answer #1: It is like it was taught, how does he do? He puts the limbs [of an Olah] on the salt and turns them over.

Rebuttal (of R. Yudan's rebuttal, and of Answer #1 - R. Aba Mari): There is different, for he delays them in the salt, and they are salted [permanently, even though he offers them shortly afterwards].

Answer #2: R. Chiya bar Zavda said that one who takes olives from the Ma'atan (a Kli in which they are put to get warm and soften), he dips one at a time in salt and eats it. (If he would dip two before eating them, this is considered salting, and he may not eat them before tithing them). This teaches that salted for a short time is called salted.

(Beraisa - R. Shimon ben Elazar): If one said 'Konam Dag, I will not taste it', he is forbidden big and permitted small. 'Dagim, I will not taste', he is forbidden both big and small. 'Dagah, I will not taste', he is forbidden only Kalkid (a miniscule fish).

Question: What is considered big, and what is small?

Answer: It is like R. Ze'ira said - any fish that I eat that [weighs] less than a Litra (a Maneh, about a half-kilo), I taste Kalkid. And here it is so (less than a Litra is called small).

Version #1 - Inference: ['I will not taste Dag Dagim'] he is permitted minced fish, but if it is not minced, he is forbidden.

(R. Yirmeyah): R. Ze'ira asked - does this not argue with R. Yochanan?!

R. Yochanan said that vows depend on Leshon Bnei Adam. It is not the way of a person to tell his friend 'buy Trisa for me', and he buys Kalkid. It is not the way of a person to tell his friend 'buy fish for me', and he buys Kalkid. (And likewise he would not buy pieces, even if they are not minced.)

Version #2: R. Avin heard [R. Ze'ira's question] regarding the Seifa. If he vowed from minced fish, he is permitted brine and fish oil.

Inference: Tzachanah is forbidden.

Question (R. Yirmeyah): R. Ze'ira asked - does this not argue with R. Yochanan?!

R. Yochanan said that vows depend on Leshon Bnei Adam. Is it the way of a person to tell his friend 'buy Trisa for me', and he buys for him Tzachanah?! (Just like Tzachanah is not called Trisa, Trisa is not called Tzachanah.)

Answer: There (in Bavel), Trisa is called Tzachanah. (Our Tana is from Bavel.)
