Summary:
I have to admit, I wrote this piece about 10 years ago. It’s
actually a bit silly—meant to be humorous—and I’m not sure it really belongs on
The Religious Humanist blog, but then again, it is about food rituals. I’ve been
thinking for some time about a religious humanist perspective on food rituals,
as, for example, the Jewish dietary rules. This is not that. This is just for
fun. I hope you enjoy it, but I hope it may also get you to begin thinking
about how food works as a ritual—religious or otherwise.
