Chicken is a domesticated fowl, that lays eggs, and provides meat. Chicken has both white and dark meat. Ham comes from a pig. Pigs are known to harbor large concentrations of parasitic ascarid worms in their digestive tract. This is why pork should be cooked or cured before eating. Ham is red meat.
Beef is very popular, and so is chicken.... There is no clear answer :(
Yes it is ok to eat meat during Lent, but advised not too.
Yes, Catholics can eat chicken and pork during Lent except on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent when Catholics should abstain from eating meat.
No, the flesh of a chicken is considered as meat and not allowed. Neither would turkey, duck or geese as all are from warm blooded animals My understanding is that if it swam in the water is was considered a fish. So, chicken would not be allowed but goose or duck would. Puffin was allowed (ahh), and in different parts of the world so are capybara, otter, and beaver. I suppose this was because lent comes at the end of the yearly cycle, during the time when food crops could not be grown, and eliminating all types of meat would be a burden on the poor. Flesh from any warm-blooded animal (mammals, birds) is considered as meat. It makes no difference what the animal's habitat.
It is not required to eat meat or not eat meat during Lent.
As far as abstinence is concerned, fish is not considered as meat.
Roman Catholic AnswerOver the years there have been many bishops who have granted dispensations for one thing or another for the abstinence which is to be observed on all Fridays and on Ash Wednesday. Failing an historical, specific ruling, I think that turtle meat would fall under meat and thus you could eat it during Lent except on Fridays and Ash Wednesday.
Fish is fish. It's not considered meat because during Lent when you can't eat meat you eat fish instead!
Fish is the only meat that's cool to eat on Fridays during lent. For Catholics, that is.
For Catholics, Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence. No meat of any warm-blooded animal may be eaten - beef, pork, chicken, etc.
Yes, with the exception of Ash Wednesday when meat may not be eaten.
Meat was the most "available" foodstuff in Europe at the time. And to abstain from it would be considered a sacrifice.
It depends on your religion. Most Christian denominations that observe Lent allow the eating of meat and chicken. Many follow no dietary rules at all.Catholics abstain from eating meat from warm blooded animals (including chicken) on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent, including Good Friday.Catholics are required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. That means one normal meal, two modest meals that add up to equal the other meal, and no snacking in between. Under age 14 and over age 60, as well as people who can't fast for medical reasons are exempt. In addition, the meat of warmblooded animals is not to be consumed on Fridays during Lent.The short answer about chicken: yes, but not on Fridays.Catholics abstain from all meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all other Fridays in during Lent. Seafood is allowed, but no poultry.
