[Avodah] Any opinions on the kashrus of Peng Peng?

[hankman]

Let me clarify or sum up my position (until proven wrong   Things are asur until permitted. At the time of maase bereishis as we see from the “pshetel from the Sifsei Chachomim I poster previously, the default is that things were asur if not specifically permitted. Certainly this is only wrt to achila and hana’a or every movement (lifting your hand etc) or any other mundane thing would need a heter. This seems to come from the musag that the world is not yours and you need reshus to be nenhneh from it – perhaps in the same vein, the rationale for asur lihanos min ha’olam bli bracho. Then HKB’H explicitly permitted ONLY vegetation for achila to man and although in Ber. 1:28 Adam is given memshala over the creatures of the world he is still not permitted to eat them as the Or Chachayim points out, but perhaps this was matir the other hano’os from the animals such as use of their fur etc. which otherwise would have remained asur to Adam. Then the Mabul and Noach is permitted to eat all. Then we arrive at matan Torah where the norm is now all is permitted to be eaten (except perhaps as I tried to opine in an earlier post) those things that were not yet in existence and therefore still operating under the original assumption of asur until permitted. I think this is a fair mehalach even if perhaps you can poke some holes here and there that I might try to fix with a bandaid.
