1) We learn nt"lf from neveila l'ger. The pasuk says that we should give a neveilah to the ger who lives among us; we learn that food which is suitable for the ger to eat is neveilah but that which is unsuitable is not neveilah -- rather it is mutar.

2) The taste of a bad tasting bug is batel. Regarding the bug itself, if the bug originally tasted good and is now l'fgam (not fitting to eat) that it is batel. If the bug originally tastes bad then it is not batel. However, the Chavas Da'as holds that even a bad tasting bug that tastes worse than its original taste is batel.

3) The Rashba holds that as long as the issur is in the minority it is batel if it is Lifgam.

The Ran holds that if the issur makes the food taste bad but increases the volume of the food such that you are happier with the increased volume than you are saddened by the lifgam taste, the food is ossur even though it is l'fgam.

4) If the issur gives no taste, the Shach learns from gid haneseh that it is batel b'shishim, R' Akiva Eiger holds that it is batel b'rov if it gives no taste.

5) While the food is hot, the food is mutar according to the Shach. The Pri Chadash holds that even when it is l'fgam it is ossur. The Pri Megadim is maikil, and the Kaf Hachaim is maikil in a hefsed m'rubeh. Later, when it cools, it is ossur according to all opinions.

6) The Rama does not rely on not bar not in our case because:
1. He is worried that the spoon will touch the side of the pot and give taste without going through the food and thus not be not bar not d'hetera (The Taz in 94:7 says that the Rama is not worried about this).
2. By cooking in order to be muter we need 3 no'ts of heter in order not to ossur a pot that is l'shvach. Therefore if the spoon has ossur blias in it (because they came from something that was l'shvach) there will only be 2 no'ts, one from the spoon to the food and one from the food to the pot.

7) He wants to teach us that the taste imparted to the honey is lifgam even in the case of a ben yoma pot.

8) It is a machloket whether meat in honey is lifgam. The Taz says that it is not lifgram; the Rambam says it is. The Mechaber holds that it is lifgram but not if there are also onions and spices present.

L'ma'aseh for Sefardim in a hefsed m'rubeh one can be maikil that meat in honey is lifgam but for Ashkenazim it is lishvach.
