Yesterday was the first day of what is called Cheesefare Week .... meat and poultry is dropped from the menu, but fish, seafood, dairy, insects and snails 😏, amphibians (frogs, crocodile) 😏, fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds remain.

The fast is ancient .... so not all of this is considered under modern times .... lol .....

Next week from Clean Monday starts the “proper” fast where fish and dairy are dropped as well, but the rest remains ..... alcohol and olive oil only on weekends or festive occasions that fall during the fast ..... there are a couple of special days where fish is included just for the day.
