Now we'll talk about intentions to eat meat or parts of an animal that are not considered to be normally eaten. How does that affect the laws of pigul (improperly disqualified offering)? The Mishnah says that if somebody slaughtered a korban (offering) with the intention to eat a kezayit (olive-sized portion) worth of the animal's skin, or from the gravy of the meat—the fluid that comes out of the meat when it's cooked, like a soup made from the meat—or the tiny pieces of meat that collect at the bottom of the pot, or an animal's alal, which are the little pieces of meat that are attached to the animal's skin, or the animal's bones, sinews, horns, or hooves, and his intention was to eat one of these things past its proper time or outside its proper place, the korban remains valid.
Some of these items are not edible, and some are insignificant; they're batil (insignificant) to the korban. So if a person has an intention to eat them, then halachically, it's not considered that he had an intention to eat something, because these items aren't normally eaten. Therefore, it would not invalidate the korban. Just as these items that we mentioned are not considered to be meat in terms of the intention he had—the kavanah (intention) to eat meat—they're also not considered to be meat with regard to other prohibitions that would apply to korbanot. Ve'ein chayavin aleihem mishum pigul ve-notar ve-tamei (They are not liable on account of these for pigul, leftover meat, or impurity).
A person is not subject to the karet (excision) punishment for eating these items when the meat would have been considered pigul after the proper time, or notar, if there's leftover meat, or because he would be tamei (ritually impure). Even though it's forbidden to eat meat of a korban that became pigul, or meat that was notar, left over past the allowed time, usually we'd say that karet would apply if he ate one of these. Usually, karet would apply. If the eating happened on one of the items that we just mentioned, he's not considered subject to karet, and he's not punished for eating it. Also, if he eats one of these items of a korban while he is tamei, and usually you're not allowed to eat a korban when you're tamei, you wouldn't be subject to karet here for eating these items as well, because pigul, notar, and eating a korban when a person is tamei would only apply to edible items of a korban, or things that are normally eaten. So if one of these things that we mentioned—the horns, the hooves, or anything insignificant—were eaten with improper intention, or past the allowed time that you're allowed to eat them, or by a person who was tamei when he ate them, they're not considered to be a normal part of the korban. Therefore, all of the punishments that would apply to it would not apply here.
