[Avodah] Pat palter

[Rich, Joel]

		And actually, this applies not only to pas palter/akum,
but also to *bishul* akum. I've asked this before, but I'll repeat it
now: If certain foods were prohibited by the legislation of bishul akum,
those foods must have been mutar prior to that enactment. But how
*could* they have been allowed? With absolutely zero Jewish involvement
in the cooking, how confident could they be that a vegetable soup had
only kosher ingredients? (I specify "vegetable", on the possibility that
Basar Shenisalem Min Ha'ayin was already forbidden when Bishul Akum
became forbidden.)
		


	Well, it's the same affluence issue. In a society where most of
the population probably had meat once a week, why would anyone put meat,
fish, dairy or eggs into a plain soup if he didn't have to?

	========================================
	So back to my original point - fiats of this nature imply an
underlying  data set which were not included as part of the  fiat - how
does this impact current applications when the data set changes? (it
sometimes seems we're more concerned with the mirroring of the action
rather than chazal's concerns - an argument can be made for this
approach.)
