Don't like Green Eggs and Ham

¹ Ham, being a product of a nonkosher animal, is not kosher.
² "Sam I am" is obviously not a name, but a reference; it is an anagram of miasma, which is a noxious influence. Here, obviously, a tempter to eat non-kosher food.
³ Here, in the kosher house, it is not permissible. There, outside the house, it is also not permissible. The mitzvah is incumbent upon the eater, not the location.
⁴ The difficulties of obtaining kosher food while traveling do not invalidate the requirement for kosher food. Rav says, this is to avoid seasickness [since it is obvious that kosher food must be eaten].
⁵ Eating with domesticated animals is not for those who are isthenis [particular, finicky], and people today are all isthenis.
⁶ As we learn from Tractate Sukkot, one must go inside for a meal if it is raining.
⁷ As with boats, a form of travel.
⁸ A box does not have the minimum requirements for a room, being less than an amah cubed. One may not eat in such a constrained space, lest one injure one's health.
⁹ [See note 5.] If not with a domesticated, kosher animal, how much more so should we avoid eating with a wild [and nonkosher] beast.
¹⁰ Replacing one's dishes after ham has been eaten from them leads to great replacement expense.
¹¹ Some gearsa'ot [variants] have "louse," which is why Rashi notes that this discusses the prohibition on eating with shratzim [bugs].
