Meat From Afar

Read John 4-6

John 4:8 "(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)"

“Tastes like chicken” is a running joke that we use when we’re trying to describe a new type of meat to someone who has never tasted it before. Not everything tastes like chicken, of course, but it is one of the most familiar meats people consume.

We might be trying to eat game that someone has provided, whether it’s squirrel or pheasant. Even snails are presented as a delicacy and called escargot so we won’t get creeped out by what it is we’re eating.

Others stretch their meat-eating muscles by eating the less popular meats from otherwise familiar animals. Someone might eat tongue or brains, even gizzards and enjoy the taste.
