    Growing up as a poor family. We went to town once a week. We grew most of own food. And the only animals we butchered in the heat was a occasion chicken that wasn't laying anymore. Or if we shot a pest in the garden . Gross as it was to think about now. I used to eat ground hog, raccoon, rabbit, and squirrel. Yuck. Not anymore. I only eat clean meat.

    The animal begins to rot as soon as the heart stops. You can't get the animal heat out of the meat fast enough when it is 90° outside. You must have refrigeration or cold temperatures. The exception would be immediately salting, smoking or drying the meat to stop bacterial growth.

    Man, that’s a much needed service-butchering classes.

  •  9 днів тому +5

    Zak mentions Carnivale and Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras).
    As a Catholic, tradition tells us that Mardi Gras was on Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday) when people emptied their pantry of sugars, fats and meats, in preparation for the 40 Days in the Wilderness aka 40 Days of Lent, which was a time of daily fasting and abstinence, to draw deeper, as Christ Jesus did, in prayer. 🙏🏼 This was done in preparation for the joyous and glorious celebration of the Resurrection (Easter) of Our Lord and Savior, after His Passion and Holy Death. ✝️
    In any case, it is only because of modern technology that people can butcher in Summer. 🐄 We need to start living as our ancestors did-eating seasonally including with fish and meats-it is hard to learn but we can do it!! ❤

    • @EarlyMusicDiva
      @EarlyMusicDiva 9 днів тому +1

      Yes, the Lenten fast is inspired by Matthew 4:2 and Luke 4:1-2 (also referenced in Mark 1:13). The Bible doesn't mention what time of year it was, but it was what Jesus did in preparation for the beginning of His ministry, and just before He went to the Jordan to be baptized. (The traditional time for the baptism of new adults coming into the Church is the Easter Vigil, at the very end of the forty-day Lenten fast.) And in the many centuries before refrigeration, the logical time of year to have a season of fasting and abstinence from land animal protein would be when there wasn't much of it available for most folks anyway - dairy animals drying up before the birth of new offspring, chickens not laying much if at all, meat animals not such high quality on winter feed as opposed to the lush grass of spring, and so on. Nutritionists have relatively recently caught on to the fact that eating fish at least once a week provides nutrients (such as vanadium) that are not as abundant in other foods but are essential to optimum human health.

    Archbishop Fulton Sheen noted that the Protestant attitude is summarized by the line, “First comes the feast, then comes the hangover,” while the Catholic attitude is “First comes the fast, then comes the feast.”)
    The reason Lent lasts 40 days is that 40 is the traditional number of judgment and spiritual testing in the Bible (Gn 7:4, Ex 24:18, 34:28, Nm 13:25, 14:33, Jon 3:4). Lent bears particular relationship to the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the desert before entering into his public ministry (Mt 4:1-11). Catholics imitate Christ by spending 40 days in spiritual discipline before the celebration of Christ’s triumph over sin and death.
    Protestants are quite ignorant of the Christian faith. Keep speaking in tongues, bud.

      @@junegagnon3921. Is Bible mentioned in the Bible? The book of revelation was written 70-95 ad. There was no Bible canon as of that time. That canon didn’t come around until Catholics compiled it at councils. Did Christian’s (who were Catholic) go rudderless from Christs death until the canon was codified? No. They submitted to Christa church. And they had no Bible to interpret individually. Scripture and tradition in the body of Christ, the one true faith, the Catholic Church. Delve into history and church fathers and Protestants bear no resemblance to the early church. Read the Didache. The Eucharist is central. Or you can just interpret the Bible as no early Christian’s had , interpret the meanings how you choose, creating your own personal Jesus, and your Protestant neighbors will all have their own interpretations, and all you will prove is that you are not part of the church. Christ created the church. Not the churches. United. Catholic. Universal. But like Gnosticism or Arianism back then. Some people just want it their way, while saying they want it Christs way. Lutheran female priests. Baptist’s with different understandings than their neighbors Baptist church. Contraception allowed by virtually all Protestants even though a hundred years ago none accepted it. Just keeping pace with the world and their man made interpretations of holy scripture. “Eat my flesh and drink my blood”. He didn’t mean that right? Catholics know he did and they obey. The orthodox Catholics that is. But like Protestants most Catholics are Catholic in name only.
      Read history and don’t dismiss historical writings of church fathers that you will discover while doing so that completely contradict your indoctrination. And then ask yourself,,,,why exactly did all Protestants consider contraception a sin a hundred years ago and now today virtually none do? Rebels always progress. And most “conservatives” today aren’t even remotely conservative. They just think they are.
