Would you eat meat sacrificed by other religious traditions?

[Rose_bud]

Yes, the principle remains, but problems with limited diets has improved. Acting properly and being understanding and polite , hopefully, will never go out of fashion.

That last sentence seems to be a fad on CF, but we can hope

It has been an interesting thread, although it has morphed somewhat from my intent which was about eating meat blessed to a god of other than one's religion, not about the ethics of eating animals or the method of killing them for consumption.

While I was curious about what others would do and for the record, I highly regard my neighbors and respect their right to practice their faith. They may be the best neighbors I have ever had. I graciously accepted their gift so as not to offend them. The are both aware of our religious differences and educated about Christianity. so I did not proselytize. I said "thank you" and that was that. Oh, yes, I also prepared and ate the lamb. I did not find it pleasing to my taste. We regularly share other food from our respective countries, so I left that pipeline open.

I think it is the first time in many years that somebody said I followed a fad. Should I be happy?

Definitely not when it comes to understanding and being polite, i.e, it shouldn't be short-lived, or what's hip and happening for a season or just a fashion statement. We all guilty of making it a fad sometimes. But it shouldn't be so.

Did you add rosemary? It's a celebratory dish we have at Christmas time (Leg of lamb). We also have a cows tongue (not a fan), but also a festive dish?

I have a tie that my father owned. Together, it is well over fifty years old. It has been in and out of fashion at least four times. So I think I'll just try to be polite to guests and hosts and let the fad fade and return as fads do.

Yes Ive got some vintage too. I usually pull them out of the archives so now and again. But again what is deemed "polite" may differ from culture to culture and causes misunderstanding. For example, I have no problem calling an elderly person on their first name if I don't know them, but in some cultures it's extremely rude, especially if you are younger.

Here in Poland the rules are pretty ridged, at least in this part of the country. Old or young, you would not call an adult by their first name unless they have told you to do so. Then they get upset if you return to Mr or Mrs and their surname. However, a younger person might refer to an older person with Mr or Mrs and the first name after the older person gives permission to use his or her first name. Everything might return to formal address if children are listening. It is also very common for a person to just ask the other person, “How should I address you?” (Of course, it all happens in Polish with other variations.)

Yes, same, we also have the equivalent here. "Mama", "oom", "tata, "sisi" etc...

The expression "if looks could kill"... it's what you would get for even suggesting or having the audacity to ask an elder to call them on a first name basis.

Funny I gave my kids the same look...lol

So less common in some places and more common in others.

Okay, I misspoke -- which sounds better than "lied" -- when saying I prepared and ate the lamb. My wife actually prepared it, so I really cannot say what went into it. But, I did the dishes if that accounts for anything. Really, I did. She is a masterful cook so it has been our (prenuptial?) agreement throughout decades of marriage that she will keep me from starving to death and I will keep her kitchen clean.
