| Leviticus rightfully instructs you not to eat bats, but it seems to mistake them for special birds rather than mammals. |

| There can't be much meat on a bat anyway. |

| ▲ | soperj 4 days ago | parent [-] | | there's not much on a snail either, but they're still delicious. | | |
| ▲ | nyeah 2 days ago | parent [-] | | They're fine. Mostly the butter stuff tastes good. I wouldn't put snail up there with badger or owl. |

| Wait, is there a _specific_ prohibition? Like, they fail Old Testament dietary rules miserably _anyway_. |

| ▲ | NewJazz 4 days ago | parent [-] | | These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, [a bunch of other birds] and the bat" https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2011:... | | |
| ▲ | rsynnott 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Aaah, right, I suppose if you’re assuming it’s a bird it _would_ need a specific call-out, yeah. I was assuming it’d be covered by the hooves-and-stomachs stuff, but if you don’t think it’s a mammal in the first place that wouldn’t work. (From the above: “Bible Gateway is currently unavailable to consumers in the United Kingdom and European Union due to technical issues.” I am now very curious just which EU regulation the bible website was worried about.) |
