Wait. Is that last one historical? I’d never heard it, but it seems just as accurate as “I can’t have a meal, but meals are eaten in the rectory and prepared in the kitchen. So if I take something from the pantry and eat it in my room, it’s not a meal and bacon is OK”
Fish is not meat for people that eat meat and want to live “vegetarian” for a time because their invisible friend in the sky told them to.
To everyone that’s actually vegetarian/vegan they are absolutely meat.
And beavers and swans are, of course, also fish
Naturally. As are pigs that drowned.
And of course meat wrapped in dough is also not meat because god can’t see it.
