So, why is Chicken considered meat during lent?

Because chickens are warm blooded.

makes sense, but does that mean we can eat rattlesnakes on fridays during lent? I heard they taste like chicken

Because eating a heaping pile chicken wings would just make Friday's too darn easy...

As far as I know, if it isn't a mammal or a bird, drive on. Depending on how it's cooked, it can be real "rubbery" tasting. My grandma used to make rattlesnake...

My definition of meat: Any animal that can walk on land and survive out of water. So I guess that includes snake and alligator meat by my definition.

But reptiles are cold blooded, like fish

If God didn't want to eat chickens, He wouldn't have made them out of meat.

 

[Paul S]

Fish isn't meat because the Latin word caro, "flesh" or "meat", does not include fish. The Spanish word carne likewise excludes fish.

They are poultry.

They are poultry.

Ok. So why is poultry allowed outside lent but not inside lent? (Is this just Fridays by the way?)

No really! I'm interested to know!

It still can survive out of water. Land walker.

Lent is a special time of penance and sacrifice, so that's why we give something up for all of Lent (which doesn't have to be meat). Abstinence from meat is only required on Fridays, because Jesus died on a Friday.

Yes, to both questions.
