Robin cooked a ham for this Easter. This tradition may actually be rooted in Paganism. Origin of Easter Ham
I noticed the Cookhouse was also having ham on the menu. How do you all feel? Is it wrong to have turkey? Or prime rib? (Or Tofu for you vegans.)
We had cornish game hens with wild rice stuffing.
ReplyDeleteI had steak
ReplyDeleteWe had a baked chicken. Next Sunday we will have ham because my son is on leave from Iraq. Then we'll have ham. But to answer your question, why ham? I think because after Thanksgiving and Christmas everyone is pretty burned out on turkey.....

ReplyDeleteXmas is a rip-off of pagan rituals in its entirety, and Easter has lots of pagan and commercial borrowings (easter bunnies, easter cards, colored eggs, chocolate, ham, dinner with the folks etc). We can assume that the Easter Mass was, at least, a Christian original.
ReplyDeleteWe had lamb and lots of cabernet franc. No Mass, thank God.
I thought Easter was all about chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. Now you're telling me it's a religious holiday. I'm agnostic, so I really couldn't care less what anybody eats on Easter. Even if I was religious, I wouldn't care. Let people eat what they want.
ReplyDeleteDid Jesus eat pork?
ReplyDeleteHe was Jewish, so we can be certain he did not eat ham as a child. But after he began his ministry, did the eating of pork become acceptable?
Many questions arise, but I will leave them unstated for the meantime.
ancient word for spring is "eastre" from the time of pagan religions which are still alive to some degree today...after all the catholic church uses many pagan traditions...priests look like druids to me.Anyway you had ham I had a tv dinner. Mary
ReplyDelete"...the pig we eat nowadays does not have trichinosis..."
ReplyDeleteAgain, food brings us back to the subject of faith.
Rumor has it that Richard had ham, turkey, roast beef, goose, rice, potatoes, yams, stuffing, biscuits, pumpkin pie, apple pie, berry pie, cake, and ice cream ... and he was still hungry afterwards!
ReplyDelete4:26- This is a lie! I never ate no Yams! Curse you! (I was still hungry though.)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't Ferndale Pizza. We still need to set a date.
ReplyDeleteMaybe their God called it an abomination beacause the pigs had trichinosis. Maybe God also planned for us to evolve from Apes.
ReplyDeleteTheir God didn't say anything. All the holy books were written by man, not God. Perhaps the person or persons that wrote the holy books knew that eating pork was unhealthy and said it was an abomination in order to keep people from eating pork and getting sick. You would have to be an idiot to believe everything you read, especially if it was written by a religious fanatic.
ReplyDeleteHey Greg! Maybe after the CEC next at Ferndale Pizza? Robin and I will be there.
