Talmud for Beitzah 6:15

הראוי לערלה ערלה הראוי לכלאי הכרם כלאי הכרם ואתמר עלה רבי יוחנן אמר את שדרכו למנות שנינו ורבי שמעון בן לקיש אמר כל שדרכו למנות שנינו

What is fitting for orlah is orlah [untithed fruit in the first three years], and what is mixed produce of the vineyard is mixed produce of the vineyard." And it is stated on this: "Rabbi Yohanan said: 'Whatever its way is to be counted, we teach'; and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: 'Everything that is its way to be counted, we teach.' [I.e. Rabbi Yohanan reads the Mishnah as the Sages' six items clarifying exactly what Rabbi Meir meant – both Rabbi Meir and the Sages agree that it is an exhaustive list that are counted as 'important' things that do not get annulled in mixtures. However, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish reads the Mishnah as a disagreement between Rabbi Meir and the Sages, that Rabbi Meir is referring to everything that is its way to be counted, which could include eggs – and those things should not be annulled in mixtures.]
