I am guessing RMF, but I'm not posting just to give my guess.

Presumably, we're talking about ON Pesach.

Rava holds that the definition of "min bemino" is linguistic -- if the
sheim is the same.

The Shach on YD 98:2 (6) interprets Rava to be talking about cases where
there is no bitul beshishism. Because when there is bitul beshishim,
clearly we're defining taaroves by taste. Examples of cases where
there is no bitul beshishim: yayin nesekh, orlah, kelayim and
*chameitz*.

An interesting Shach, because he is giving a different kind of meaning
to chametz than to basar bechalav. In basar bechalav, it's the taste
that's assur. On Pesach, it's the sheim chametz. From that comes the
difference WRT bitul.

Tir'u baTov!
