What is Theodosius of Rome and Passover Customs about?
The mishna discusses local customs regarding selling animals to non-Jews and eating roasted meat on Passover evenings. The gemara asks if saying "this meat is for Passover" is really prohibited. It cites a teaching that Theodosius of Rome instituted the custom for Jews in Rome to eat roasted kids whole with entrails on Passover evenings, like in the Temple. The sages told him this resembles eating sacrifices outside Jerusalem. The gemara clarifies the issues around these customs and their implications.
