[Avodah] Psak about Muscovy Duck from the Rabbinical Institute for Kosher Supervision and Research

[Ben Waxman]

TTBOMK Lo ye'uneh letzadik kol aven is not in the Shulhan Aruch, while 
minhag yisrael, which is what your story illustrates, is found in the SA on 
page after page.

Lo ye'uneh letzadik kol aven.   If you know someone ate something, and
you maintain that it's treif, then you're saying that he has no such
protection.  This is even stronger if, as in this case, he deliberately
ate it in order to demonstrate its kashrut.

I'm reminded of a story about a machlokes between the Ksav Sofer and
the Divrei Chaim over a mikveh that the KS supported and the DC proclaimed
to be pasul.  It ended when the KS wrote to the DC that "I was born from
such a mikveh".
