Nat will stick with the time honored KFC Fish Snacker. Penance is good, but Nat would have a hard time putting oil on his head and smiling after that, if you know what Nat means.
This is so cool (canonically, I mean)...I'd try it, btw.
Sick!
I've lived in SE Michigan my whole life, and have heard about eating muskrat but have never done it. I've also been trying to find a Friday this Lent to go try it. We'll see...
When Spanish explorers encountered their first capybara in South America, they wrote to the Vatican to see if they could eat it on days of abstinence. The Vatican (Congragation for Animal Taxonomy?) told the Spaniards that it was a fish and they could eat it without worry.
I do enjoy a nice capybara burger now and then during lent since I can't stand those McDonald's Filet O'Fish.
Muskrat, eh? Does it taste like chicken?
Does make me wonder about what constitutes a "meat", does the flesh of snakes, or gators, or possum count? Didn't the Church of England call beaver a "fish" at one point? Just curious.
ah! too bad I read this too late. I just saw one trapped in our basement window well yesterday. And to think, that coulda been tonights dinner. ah shucks!
This adds a new twist to the old Captain & Tenille tune "Muskrat Love" doesn't it?
& as for any capybara, I think that the Tick may not like it if you tried serving Speak on a bun.
Anyhow, here in DBQ the closest we come to any of this is the fact that this week every year corned beef is the non-meat of choice even for us non-Irish.
