"Let them eat snake!"

So in church today, Father Rick was going over the US Catholic guidelines for fasting and abstinence during Lent. (You may recall that Ash Wednesday happens to fall on the day after Mardi Gras...what a wierd coincidence.) Anyway, he was telling us what we can't eat on Fridays: "no meat, and in the US, meat is defined as beef, veal, pork or poultry. Fish, eggs, and milk products are okay. And you know, so technically are reptiles. So I suppose if you wanted to have snake for dinner every Friday during Lent, you could." Yummy.
