I wonder what Jesus ate while rambling around with His Apostles-just bread and fish? Just wondering.

Actually, bread, fish, and wine were probably the majority of his diet. Living where he did, there was a greater abundance of fish than anything else. Most farmed animals were kept for their byproducts rather than their meats. (milk from goats, wool from sheep, etc.). The animals were rarely killed for food because they were far more valuable alive.

That’s why it’s always such a big deal when they put together a feast, and why the Jewish sacrifices were so sacrificial. You weren’t just giving up an animal that would have been a meal, you were giving up a repeatable source of income / sustenance.

The females were valuable because they provided milk and more animals. On a farm, you only need one intact male to keep the herd/flock going. The other males are turned into food.

Regarding the sacrifice offerings, have you noticed that they were to offer the male animals? The females were far too valuable to sacrifice.

Seriously? You got “squirrel gumbo” in and not ONE comment or question?

😆 Right? Somewhere in there someone warned me about cholesterol.

I personally haven’t had it. Squirrel gumbo is eaten primarily by the squirrel hunters on my husband’s side. If I asked nicely they might save me some, but I’ve yet to see leftovers.
 
Saw a guy in the news get a brain eating disease from eating squirrel brains.

I’ll pass.
 
Some disease and parasite fear sits vaguely unresearched at the back of my mind about squirrels. Eating brains seems like trouble all around, rodents or otherwise.

We buy sides of beef and pork from a local farm. We can get organ meats, bones, and fat for no additional cost, and I happily take them. But not brains. I just can’t do it.
 
Many have tried to hunt my kind. We are very endangered. Chicken pigeons are highly sought for their humor and vocalizations. I’m against hunting. I love my family

Well if you buy a side of beef, I guess you would only get one, can’t make a meal out of that, probably why they don’t offer it 🙂

Well, they do let me have the whole heart, liver, tail, and tongue. I don’t think there’s many other customers that want that stuff. But I like the challenge of cooking it and am happy it doesn’t go to waste.

But someone else can have the brains and calf fries!
 
You’d have to eat a lot - and I mean a whole lot - of squirrel cafries to be satisfied.
 
Hi, I expect so but seconds are a very long time under those circumstances.

I don’t know the answer to the problem of foxes in the countryside. I think they are not liked because farmers like to breed pheasants so they can charge money for shooting weekends. Foxes kill pheasant chicks. I’ve also seen a magpie trap complete with magpie which had been set for the same reason.

Also, obviously chickens and lambs get attacked I expect.

Don’t know. Badgers have also been culled in the past.
 
Foxes can kill a lot of things, including domestic pets, and make a lot of mess.

I don’t know about in the UK, but here rabies in foxes is a huge concern.
