Waiting Six Hours to Eat Dairy After Consuming Meat

When do we start counting the six hours after consuming meat, from the end of the meal, or from the end of the time of eating the meat?

From the end of the time of eating the meat, not from the end of the meal.

Gemara Chullin, page 105a: "Mar Ukva said: I am, in this matter, vinegar compared to wine regarding my father, for if my father ate meat, he would not eat cheese until the next day, but I do not eat in this same meal, but in the next meal I do eat."

The Rambam and the Rosh wrote that the time from meal to meal is six hours, and the poskim wrote that its measure is according to the time of eating of the sages in the sixth hour, and afterwards they ate at the end of the day, and it could be said that the measure of waiting six hours is from the time of the end of the meal, as the language of the Gemara from meal to meal.

However, since the reason of the Rambam is because of the meat between the teeth, which is considered food until six hours as we find in the Scripture, the meat is still between their teeth. And the reason of Rashi is because of the prolonged taste in the mouth, and we practice this until six hours, therefore, certainly there is no reason to prolong the taste in the mouth more or to consider the meat between the teeth as food, because it continued with various appetizers after the meal.
