    • The platypus is an egg-laying mammal. I wouldn’t eat one on any day.

    Sorry, I accidentally gave you a thumbs down. I will make that up in another post.

    I made up for it above. :laugh1: Off topic, but in culinary terms, leaf lard is an object of wonder, as are renderings from duck and goose. Nothing better for savory pie crusts. Butter may be uniquely tasty, but it's hard to find any with low enough water content to easily prevent gumminess.

    Are insects safe to eat on Friday?
    Insects are not flesh meat.

    Very strange permissible foods are the aquatic mammals which the Church has classified as "fish" since these spend 50% or more of their time in water.

    You must be thinking of muskrat.  That was in response to a local situation (Michigan) where it was food for poor people living near the shore.  In isolated circuмstances, the Church will create a legal fiction of "fish" even though the animal in question is a mammal or amphibian.  And whales and dolphins are mammals.

    Dolphins are a weird animal.  I saw one in Florida (at an aquarium) and it kind of creeped me out, almost like a human that looks like a fish.  Their brains are huge.

    Also beavers and capybaras are permissible.
