Fast Trivia, 4/25,2011
With Lent now over, it seems like a good time to ask a question about fasting. During traditional fasts, Christians were expected to abstain from all animal products, with the exception of fish. What animals were the exceptions to the exception, eaten during fasts even though they were not technically fish? There are at least four correct answers, so the winner will have to strive for completeness, as well as explain the reason for the exception.
