I had a small peanut butter sandwich for breakfast, so it seems even funnier to me right now. 👍
 
Oddly enough, I had my first one in years yesterday. Hmmmmm…

Is “Extra Crunchy” peanut butter OK during Lent?

Don’t see why not since it isn’t meat . And nuts are a great source of protein that you’d usually get from meat.👍

I was concerned that creamy would be less extravagant… 😃

Where I shop creamy and chuck style peanut butters cost the same. I think the main difference might be chunk style would be more pleasurable to some due to the crunchiness. So if a person likes chunk style, perhaps switching to creamy might count as a penance during Lent.🤷

Glad I’m not scrupulous, or Lent would be a veritable minefield!
 
The Church does not forbid any source of “meat” as we know the term (either as a source of protein or animal muscle tissue - which could include fish).

The Latin term is “carne” (the “e” has a accent that I don’t know how to type here). Carne refers to the muscle tissue of land-based animals (cows, pigs, goats, sheep, etc), and not to beans (peanuts are actually beans (legumes), not nuts) or fish.

That must be where we get words like “carnivore” “carnage” “carnival” ( I don’t understand the last word “carnival” what that has to do with “meat”):confused:

In the US many street fair/circus type events may be named as carnivals (think a sideshow with barkers), but the word truly refers to pre-Lenten festivals, such as still (in)famously celebrated in Brazil.

The Latin ***carni vale ***is “good-bye to the meat”!

Carnival originally referred to the celebrations before Ash Wednesday where people would, before refrigeration, consume all the remaining meat before they could not consume it (in the Middle Ages, the abstinence requirements extended throughout Lent). It means, essentially, “goodbye, meat”. Usually these celebrations were effusive and gaudy, which then became appended to similar showcases outside of the period before Ash Wednesday.
 
Skippy Super-Chunk guy here. Hold the baseball bat.

I thought I was going to get an infraction for starting this thread.

The bit about carni vale meaning “good-bye to the meat” is interesting. I have learned a lot on this thread.

Some Jehovah’s Witnesses taught me about the word carnival, but it had a slightly different direction out was leading…😉

I have two songs linked to YouTube on my phone…the first is PBJT, the second is the Winnie the Pooh singing the exercise song: cornel1801.com/disney/Winnie-Pooh-UpDown-Ground/videosong.html

I play them at different times for my kids, but I can see now how one relates to Lent and the other…doesn’t. 😃

So that’s what Mardi Gras in places like Brazil, New Orleans, etc is all about. That is interesting about the Latin Meaning of “carnival” I too have learned a lot in this forum!👍
