I'm asking since it's in regards to fasting.
Ugh....caviar would so not be a good tasting thing for relaxing the fast with me...I'll take vegan foods over fish eggs any day!Anhelyna said:Ah - I'm told you can eat Caviar on Lazarus Saturday and also Wine and Oil Sunday is Fish Wine and Oil but Tuesday [ Annunciation] is a Fast day but we are permitted Wine and Oil
Kylissa said:I don't even want to try caviar. I don't care overmuch for fish, but I was given some at Church on Palm Sunday. The guys here make the best fish I've ever had, so it really was pretty good. I can't keep the fast strictly right now anyway, but I try to go for the "spirit". A tiny bit of broiled chicken breast because I need it. Funny, two days that I felt were not properly fasting were when my husband decided he wanted coconut shrimp, and when he came home with a tub of blue crab and we steamed them. Those meals both FELT decadent even though they were technically allowed? At least I didn't overeat. Seafood is rich to me, and the crabs were so much work without proper utensils that I eventually gave up after eating about 1/2 a meal worth.
So true...we could have lobster tail and technically fully follow the fast guidelines...but that doesn't feel like I'm sacrificing anything for that! Or jumbo lump crab....already out of the shell of course...just would miss the butter to dip it in...mmmm
