It was originally the Latin word “carnis”. They invented the fast from meat specifically to mean giving up the best food of, like, beef and chicken. When translated into English, “meat” was the best word they had to refer to the concept of land animal meat.
When god flooded the world for 40 days and 40 nights to cleanse it of sin, the fish were entirely unaffected and thus still full of sin. So they deserve to be eatened.

Next explain why you can eat fish when you aren’t allowed to eat meat. It was always about money/scarcity/greed
Seriously speaking, does someone have an answer to the land animal meat vs fish thing? I’m curious now

Let’s face it, if gotchas ever really mattered the Catholic Church wouldn’t exist. Too easy to hand wave any real argument.
The eggs we buy in supermarkets come from hens who have never seen a cock.
It’s basically bird menstruation in a shell.
Oh god…I need bleach for my eyes
Well now I’m just hungry for an omelette.
If you make it with ostrich eggs, is it called an omel?
Omelotte
Pet peeve - chickens didn’t menstruate, they have no reason to. They do however ovulate, which is where we get the eggs from.
Yeah, looks like a lot of motherfuckers don’t know how eggs work. Absolutely not a gotcha.
It’s about on par with the “every sperm is sacred” idea which to some extent is part of Catholic doctrine.
Man God gets quite irate over that.
Only if one gets wasted.
But would they let you eat fertilised eggs?
You wouldn’t want to, but if you want to, ask for balut.
It’s not a problem as long as the eggs weren’t incubated for too long. It will take for a while before anything visible developes
And otherwise it is just more proteins
I wasn’t saying I wanted to, I was just asking if the Catholic Church would let one eat them on Fridays.
Some religions outright forbid consumption of balut altogether, so perhaps they wouldn’t?
