Responsa for Chullin 215:10
אמר רב
[the mixture is forbidden] by the law of the Torah.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The principle is derived from the law of 'flesh in milk', for in that case, after the two substances were cooked together, even though they have been removed from each other, they are forbidden because of the flavour of the other which each absorbed.');"><sup>8</sup></span>
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A drop of milk fell upon the outside of a boiling pot of meat. The volume of the pot and its contents was more than sixty times that of the milk. Are the contents of the pot as well as the pot itself fit for use?
A. In France I witnessed a great controversy over this matter. But, at the time, I failed to inquire into the reasons of both those who permitted and those who forbade the use of the pot and its contents. I also discovered that Ri forbade the use of the pot and its contents, probably for the reason that the drop of milk first rendered the pot unfit for use, and the pot, in turn, rendered its contents unfit for use.
SOURCES: L. 121. Cf. Mord., Hulin, 679; P. 515; Hag. Maim., Maakalot Asurot 9, 3; Asher, Responsa 20, 26; Sefer Haparnes 19.
