If you're of the proper religion and you practice, do you eat fish on Fridays instead of red meat?  If you do, do you also bring fish to work and microwave it?  If you do, could you please punch yourself in the face?  Thanks.

At one point in time baby rabbits weren't considered meat for purposes of Lent. They'd be dipped in honey and rolled in poppy seeds.

The real trick was getting them to stop squirming long enough for the seeds to stick properly.

Haha, I love how you could buy an "excused from lent" note from  the church Tongue out

Also I don't fast for lent but I do try to keep down on the meat-eating and so far I find it's not bad. There's so many good vegetarian recipes that you'll never try unless you tell yourself "tonight's going to be vegetarian".

since this is about religion i have but one thing to say:

If we weren't meant to eat small animals, god wouldn't have made them so damn delicious... he would have made them into mom's steamed carrots.

  Rabbit...yum!  I just found a local butcher that has fresh rabbit, and I was thinking about having it for easter dinner instead of ham.  Is that bad?

Steamed carrots are delicious! Especially loaded with butter!

But have you tried roasted sesame seed oil? It's just sooooo yummy on veggies!

This:

Lent approved.

If bunnies are ok, so are squirrels.


Are you implying that you want to eat me?
