Very funny.

Einar

Indeed! A little harmless humour! (and not to belittle the subject matter...)

But father, it's so hard to cook when you keep it in the kitchen!



hawk, who generally isn't allowed in the kitchen, anyway

But if you keep it in the living room, it is hard to control the fire while cooking.

Also, most living rooms don't have any kind of smoke ventilation.

Besides, dead things shouldn't be in living rooms.

Of course, living rooms are often the deadest room in the house.

Then again, should we be beating things during Great Lent?

counterpunctually, we generally *should* have dead things in the kitchen. Live cows are *so* hard to get in the oven . . .

Why would one cook a dead horse at this point during Great Lent?

"Why would one cook a dead horse at this point during Great Lent? "

Frozen, the horse will remain good until Pascha, when it can be thawed and baked into a casserole to be eaten in the parish hall after the blessing of the baskets.

Raw horse doesn't taste too good

Oh, c'mon now. I heard that it tastes like chicken, and is really quite delicious after you get used to the barnyard smell!

The French like it.

not raw -

Chevaline Boucheries are very popular I agree - but it has to be cooked first

Poor Mr. Ed - although the cartoon is fun. But does no one know the classic answer to my Down East question?

Fr. Serge

It was a tough old horse. It will take a couple of weeks in the crock pot before we can chew it . . .
