תּוֹרְמִין בָּצָל קָטָן שָׁלֵם וְלֹא חֲצִי בָצָל גָּדוֹל. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: לֹא כִי! אֶלָּא חֲצִי בָצָל גָּדוֹל. וְכֵן הָיָה רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: תּוֹרְמִין בְּצָלִים מִבְּנֵי הַמְּדִינָה עַל הַכּוּפְרִים, אֲבָל לֹא מִן הַכּוּפְרִים עַל בְּנֵי הַמְּדִינָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מַאֲכַל פּוֹלִיטִיקִין.
We should separate as terumah a whole small onion and not half a large onion. Rabbi Yehudah says: It is not so! Rather, [one should separate as terumah] half a large onion. And similarly Rabbi Yehudah was wont to say: We separate the onions of city dwellers as terumah on behalf of the onions of villagers, but not the onions of villagers on behalf of the onions of city dwellers, because [the onions of city dwellers] are food of the nobility.
