Well, its a bomb alright.

Is it a venial or mortal sin to eat a tuna sandwich at work?

Hmm…I think you’re on to something!

“Are we having chicken bird for supper?”

My wife will love it. I’m sure.
“What?”
“Chicken bird. Since people say tuna fish, I thought it would be funny to say chicken bird.”
“O.k. How about if you never say that again?”

Thanks for clarifying- sometimes I really wonder about people when I see questions like this is the “Moral theology” sub forum.
FWIW, I despise the"food police"! Anyone who wants to object to my lunch had either buy me lunch or keep their mouth shut.

I dunno…I used to work in a small office and food smells was as hot a topic as where the thermostat should be set at and what radio station should be listened to.

In small offices too, bad habits stick out more. My drumming/tapping when idle used to drive a lady I worked with nuts!

Eat it on a Friday as an act of witness.

People that would wear too much perfume or some scent no one else liked would also cause problems in a small office. Like and egg salad sandwich! Okay for some, but not for others.

My only rule is never to eat fish of any kind prior to a dental appointment.

Eating Oreo cookies before a dental checkup will incur the wrath of the dental hygienist, and you will find out what Purgatory is like. Sunflower seeds would be another unwise choice.

I recommend flossing and brushing beforehand.

Absolutely. I did have a friend, though, who thought it was hilarious to eat those cookies just before going in.

That’s what I call a thrill-seeker. :crazy_face:

Getting back to the original question, the gravity of the sin depends on whether the tuna is white or light. White tuna has more mercury. Mercury is one of the Roman gods. That’s a violation of the First Commandment. Therefore white tuna is mortal, and light tuna is venial.

Salmon, on the other hand, has little or no mercury. No sin there.

Many years ago I had a dental hygienist that was whining to me about my not flossing enough. I told her as if I wads joking that if I did that, she would be out of a job. But I actually meant it.

There is a fruit called durian that stinks like rotten eggs. It is actually really tasty but forbidden in hotels in Malaysia and I am sure other places. It would be a very, very grave sin to bring that fruit into a gathering of people. Maybe it would help clear buildings when practising fire drills.

 

[Irishmom2]

Who would even have tried eating something so eww to have even known it taste good??

 

[Sarcelle]

Durian is in fact banned on public transport in Singapore. I can see why.

The real sin is sardines (which one co-worker did eat once, never again after incurring the righteous wrath of other staff).

Don’t get me wrong I’ve eaten them myself but only ever at home alone and being very careful in disposing of the stinky evidence.

Venial. It’s one of the seven non-deadly sins I think, recorded somewhere by one of the Early Church Fathers, now probably lost to history or residing deep within Vatican archives.
