33a

{Shabbat 76a continues}
OR MOIST ONION LEAVES TO THE SIZE OF A DRIED FIG, [OR] A GOAT'S MOUTHFUL OF DRY [LEAVES], A GOAT'S MOUTHFUL OF HERBS {the Rif has this moved from earlier in the Mishna}, [IS CULPABLE]. AND THEY DO NOT COMBINE WITH EACH OTHER, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ALIKE IN THEIR STANDARDS.
{Shabbat 76b}
HE WHO CARRIES OUT [HUMAN] FOODSTUFFS TO THE SIZE OF A DRIED FIG IS LIABLE, AND THEY COMBINE WITH EACH OTHER, BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUAL IN THEIR STANDARDS, EXCEPT THEIR SHELLS, KERNELS, STALKS, HUSKS AND COARSE BRAN. R. JUDAH SAID: EXCLUDING THE SHELLS OF LENTILS, BECAUSE THEY ARE BOILED TOGETHER WITH THEM.

{Shabbat 76a}
Gemara:
What is eitza?
Rav Yehuda said: The stalks of certain kinds of peas.

{Shabbat 76b}
"R. JUDAH SAID: EXCLUDING THE SHELLS OF LENTILS, BECAUSE THEY ARE BOILED TOGETHER WITH THEM":
Only lentils, but not beans?
But it was taught {in a brayta}: Rabbi Yehuda says: Excluding the shells of beans and lentils!
There is no difficulty: The one refers to new [beans] {in which case their shells combine}, the other to old.
Why do old ones not combine?
Rabbi Abahu said: Because they look like flies in the dish.
