Commentary for Chullin 206:3
כי אתא רב דימי אמר בעא מיניה רבי שמעון בן לקיש מרבי יוחנן
When R'Dimi came [from Palestine] he reported that R'Simeon B'Lakish put the following question to R'Johanan: What is the law if he divided it outside?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A person took an olive's bulk from a limb that had been severed from a living animal, divided it into halves outside, i.e., before putting it into his mouth, and then swallowed each half separately. In connection with other prohibited substances this raises no doubt at all, for so long as he consumed the required quantity, namely an olive's bulk, within the time it takes to eat a half-loaf, he is deemed to have eaten the requisite amount and he is liable; v. Yoma 80b. With regard to the limb severed from the living animal, however, since it is exceptional in that the required quantity may be made up of bones and sinews to which no prohibition applies elsewhere, it might be said that this whole quantity must be eaten at one time.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
