On the closing daf of Perek Eilu Tereifot, the Gemara turns its attention to the passage in Sefer Vayikra (11:42) that forbids eating a variety of different insects and creatures that crawl on the ground.
Pri Chadash states that the standard is not determined by what most people find disgusting, but rather by the subjective reaction of the individual eating the food.
There remains, however, an important question: Is the permission to eat the worms limited to when they are consumed together with the flesh of the fish, or may they even be eaten by themselves?
We explore the notion of the sacred and the disgusting with the meforshim on Vayikra 11:11.
