Fun fact: The McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish was invented for Catholics so they could still go to McDonald’s on Fridays.
Secondary Fun Fact: It was created by a franchise owner, against the wishes of CEO Ray Kroc, who had created a sandwich with grilled pineapple as a meat substitute for that purpose.
Yep! The Hula Burger! Something tells me Kroc got that one wrong.
Grilled pineapple is delicious.
Maybe, but I’m not so sure about grilled pineapple with melted cheese on a bun, which is what Kroc envisioned.
Hmm. Maybe you’re right. I’d have to try it out. And today is grocery day, AND I had a dream about pineapple…
Oops. I added pineapple to my burger, forgetting to just replace the meat patty. It was okay, but I’ll try again tomorrow.
It was not good. 3/10
Catholics every Friday.
Mmmmm mercury
The Tasmanian trout lady was just catholic. It all makes sense now
Not just fish. Catholics are allowed to eat beaver too, since it’s technically a fish in their eyes.
No, really…I only wish I was making this up…
This is gold!
So in the 17th century, the Bishop of Quebec approached his superiors in the Church and asked whether his flock would be permitted to eat beaver meat on Fridays during Lent, despite the fact that meat-eating was forbidden. Since the semi-aquatic rodent was a skilled swimmer, the Church declared that the beaver was a fish. Being a fish, beaver barbeques were permitted throughout Lent. Problem solved!
