nisht and yehuda : where is my information incorrect? You confirm that soap is made with lye ,which makes it inherently inedible, you agree that it tastes bad and you still say that it is “rou-i le’achilas kelev”? Sorry, I don’t get it. Food that tastes bad is inedible for humans. The allusion to dogs is because they would eat certain food that is not edible to humans yet they eat it. But this doesn’t mean all bad food can be given to dogs. Just try to feed a dog soap…we’ll see how far that goes with the dog!!
