Tosefta for Chullin 194:24
שיערו חכמים דאין נותן טעם באיסורין יותר מבצל וקפלוט
R'Abba said to Abaye: Why not measure as though they were pepper or spices, in which case the flavour would not become neutralized even in a thousand-fold? - He replied: The Rabbis have estimated that among forbidden substances there is none that can impart a stronger flavour than onions or leeks.
Tosefta Terumot
Unclean fish that was pickled with clean fish: He washes [the clean fish] thoroughly and it is permitted. Unclean salted fish and clean unsalted fish: It is forbidden. Clean salted fish and unclean unsalted fish: It is permitted. Unclean fish that was cooked with clean fish: We treat it as though [the clean fish was cooked with] leeks (see Hul. 97b:8) -- if there is sufficient quantity to impart taste, it is forbidden, and if not, it is permitted.
