I see two Rashis there. The first says that even tough one doesn't have to
do zeriqas hadam, you still can't eat it. BTW, does this imply that the
problem with dam is that it's simply too sacred for people? Kind of like
the way everyone assumes shaatnez is something negative to be avoided,
but bidgei kehunah imply the problem is that it's simply not for chol?

The second Rashi says it doesn't require kisui or that one may use it
lehakhshir zera'im (which is from Chullin 33a too).

The Sifri adds mutar bahana'ah. If so, are you saying that achilah too?

Or perhaps you mean the Sifra Vayiqra 82), who says that dam from
pessulei hamiqdashim is only one issur. Where do you see that that one
issur evaporates with pidyon.

:-)BBii!
