@sapphael: I feel like I should have started by saying “What’s your favorite fish? Mine is a Beaver” but I didnt and that wouldnt be true. I like fancy goldfish. Also no greenscreen because the whole outfit is green. I have definitely discussed this subject before but I don’t know if YOU saw the last one, and I want YOU to know about this! #medieval #History #fish #food #religion

Technically, everything that falls under Osteichthyes is a fish so any land animal that is a descendant of Tetrapoda is fair game, and my favorite fish is the frilled shark

Before Vatican 2 the Friday meat rule was every week. Every Friday was beaver Friday!

German dumplings (Herrgottsbscheißerle aka “cheating god”) are pasta filled with meat and veggies that some monks ate during lent because god couldn’t see the meat inside them

Huh, sounds like in Japan when meat was not allowed because of Buddhism, they counted boars as land whales.

Puffins are allegedly fish but it should be a sin to eat something that looks so worried

My favorite related topic is that in California, bees are considered fish so they can be protected by the CA Endangered Species Act.

My cat Buddy loves to drink water from the hose, so I think that qualifies him as my favorite cat-fish. I don’t want to ever eat him though, that would be sad.

Some additional information on fasting: it's still very common in Europe, especially for Eastern Orthodox Christians, to hold Easter Fast, Christmas Fast, The Fast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, AND the Fast of the Dormition of the Mother of God. Eating fish is also not allowed for most of the fasting period. The "Allowance of Fish" is only on "Holy Days" such as important religious saint days, or on Sundays. There is also an entire industry of lent products: vegan pate, vegan cheese, etc. Lastly, it's common for very religious people to have days in which they hold a Black Fast, where they only drink water, no food is allowed at all. It's most common during Holy Week and particularly on Good Friday.

In my country (Poland) the biggest snail species is actually not native to this part of Europe. it was brought over by french monks and then escaped containment. so yes, snail is fish too

Modren taxonomy started in the 18th century, for the medieval sciences; lives in water="fish" isn't the craziest idea.

I mean, there were still eggs and milk the peasant class could afford. They were largely vegetarian, not vegan
