Fish is meat and no amount of dancing around the subject simply to fit in with people's choosy dietary beliefs is going to change that. Down with those Pesky Tarians!

Fish isn't been considered meat for abstention purposes since the Middle Ages (e.g. Lent in every Catholic European country) so your 'stop just pandering to choosy modern customers' take is off by about 1000 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I am also a qualified historian and I feel like writing a book on the role of fish in the 19th Century development of Scottish football now. I don't think it'll get me on the telly like that Starkey cnut or the posh bird with the big nostrils who's dirty though Edited September 16, 2020 by tamthebam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Talking of things vaguely historical I follow a small town history page on a popular social media website. A couple of folk post old postcards of said town but superimpose copyright stamps on the images. Fair enough for personal photos but the thing is I'm pretty sure as these are old postcards the posters don't own the copyright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So choosy modern customers and adherents to a bizarre medieval cult. Surely a four course menu would have mains (or entrees for real nobbers) and not meat? It is a false dichotomy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a commonly-known fact champ ... and for the vast majority of those 1000 years, a creationist view of a 10,000 year old Earth was widely accepted as 'fact' by these same religious types (and ~40% of Americans even today, the rest of which largely now reinterpret the Bible to fit their beliefs to prevent being proven wrong). Therefore, the longevity of such an idea is irrelevant and reinterpreting something simply to avoid an inconvenient truth doesn't necessarily make it legitimate. No respectable dictionary makes an exception for fish in its definition of meat being 'flesh of an animal when used for food' (or variants of this) because everybody, including the thickest knuckle-draggers of society, knows that fish are animals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 They should call it Sea Meat.Or just have one big "Dead Flesh" section. What's genuinely unacceptable on the modern day menu is specifying when something has Olive Oil in it, then abbreviating it to EVOO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 If I ever win the lottery jackpot (unlikely as I don't buy a ticket) I'll plough the whole lot into scientific research to produce something that looks and tastes like plant but is made entirely from meat.
