Washing of the Feet on Holy Thursday And More on Days of Abstinence

Perhaps I should be embarassed, but I didn't know you shouldn't use chicken broth on days of abstinence.

You should!!!

As me sainted grandmother used to say: "As well as eat the divil as his drippin's!" :)

(The signs at the Friday fish fry I went to boasted: "We only used olive oil to cook with".

If you read the post carefully, it says that the use of foods made from animal fats USED TO BE forbidded on days of abstinence. The current law allows such foods as broths and bullion. To restrict their use may be a pious extension of the Friday abstinence, but is not indicated by the law of abtinence itself.
