in such a case where the taste so much weakened, since it was absorbed into the walls of the pot and then afterwards when you cooked the beans the second time, it came out again, then we say like this: If the food that produced the taste was permitted food, the meat in the above example, then we say that such a weak taste doesn't have the strength to become a forbidden food if it happens afterwards that it becomes mixed with milk. I mean to say, the secondary taste isn't strong enough to create a new prohibition by virtue of its contact with milk. But, if the taste involved was from a prohibited food, for example donkey meat, first you cooked donkey meat in a pot and then after a thorough cleaning you cooked string beans, so the beans are forbidden as long as there remains any taste of the forbidden meat. Similarly, however not so obvious, if instead of cooking string beans in the meat pot you cooked milk, then the milk (and the pot) would become prohibited, because when the taste of the meat comes out it immediately strikes the milk and becomes forbidden food, meat and milk.
