The Catholic Church Wants You To Eat Beaver
from Canada is Boring
In this episode, we dive into one of the strangest culinary loopholes ever approved by the Catholic Church: the time beaver was classified as fish so it could be eaten during Lent. Yep, you heard that right—furry, dam-building rodents made the menu for pious Canadians looking to stick to their fasting rules. How did this happen? Why did 17th-century Catholic clergy decide beavers belonged in the same category as salmon?All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.
