re: Are frog legs considered meat?

Looked into this because I was trying to find out if fowl was meat - answer was that anything considered warm blooded ( including fowl) is meat and anything cold blooded is not

I consider both a form of seafood since they (mostly) live in the water. But I'm not a biologist or a good Catholic.

So I guess by that logic, polar bear and sea lion are great lenten fare as well.

Good point. Some of the original disciples were fishermen.

This actually explains everything

If it comes on the seafood platter I can eat it on Fridays

It's not meat if it can swim.

Cows are actually good swimmers, breh.

Whats the best way to eat a frog?

One leg over each ear

A few years ago, I attended Mass at St. Louis Cathedral during Lent and the priest actually addressed this during the service. Gator, frog, and turtle are Friday approved.

Not gonna argue with that reliable source.

This topic comes up every year at Lent.

But I can never remember what the conventional wisdom was from the last year so it's a good topic to repeat.

My Italian fishermen ancestors loved lent...

Per Archbishop Aymond, Catholics are good to go on frog legs, alligator tail and turtle soup. It was on the local news on Ash Wednesday.

Also, in certain circumstances, special dispensation can be declared. I was at a Catholic wedding reception on a Friday evening during Lent and many of the guests were hesitant to eat the hors d'eourvres because they couldn't tell which had meat in them. A Monsignor grabbed the mic and told us to chow down. Special dispensation was declared for D & G's reception and we should all celebrate guilt (and sin) free!
