Commentary for Menachot 42:6

חולין פשיטא מאי בעו התם אע"ג דאמר מר יאכלו שיאכלו עמה חולין ותרומה כדי שתהא נאכלת על השובע אפילו הכי מלח דקדשים לא יהבינן להו

Unconsecrated food! [you say], surely this is obvious, for how does it come to be there!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For it is forbidden to bring unconsecrated food into the Temple precincts (Rashi) .');"><sup>8</sup></span>
