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

back to my original point - fiats of this nature imply an

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.)</FONT></SPAN><BR><SPAN
