Since it's Ash Wednesday (in my Catholic Religion) and you can't eat any meat or poultry...?!
Ex. Chicken Ramen Noodles, Chicken Rice-A-Roni, etc.
(I'm not talking about wether YOU as a vegetarian would, I mean is it techincally eating meat or poultry?)
Answers: can I still eat something chicken or beef flavored?

yeah i aksed my mom the same thing cuz i wanted ramen noodles and she said no because it is made from real chicken or beef , it may say it somewere on the packege (made with real chicken(beef)) but yeah its like freesedried extracts r something i relly dont know,,, i just know my mom said it was considered meat, aaha. this sucks dont it?? every friday too mannn (:
Well,
I don't think there's anything wrong with eating ramen or rice a roni
not if it has actual chicken extracts
Well, chicken ramen noodles DOES contain chicken (hence its name), same with the rice-a-roni.
So technically you would be eating beef or chicken.
Chicken or beef flavors would still have chicken or beef. Pork - Beef - Chicken - Lamb - venicin : all meats.
cheese pasta, eggs, pancakes, french toast, seafood, and cheese pizza are some good Lent food ideas.
Yes, it is. Those things have boullion or stock in them, which does come from these animals.
The chicken and beef flavors come from the animals so no you can't. Luckily for you the pope decided fish is ok though for some reason.
That's up to you and your god.
If it has chicken in the ingredients, then it contains parts of a dead chicken.
PS - Poultry is meat. As is fish.
I am Catholic as well and you cannot (or should not) eat any hoofed animal, fowl or animal products on Fridays or days of total abstinence (Ash Wednesday and Good Friday). However, you can eat seafood, shellfish or any vegetarian option.
Eating fish has been around since the Conference of Nicea. The point being, that during that time fish was the most abundant food source. It was a treat to be able to eat red meat or fowl. it was decided as an act of pertinence that people "give up" the special treat of red meat or fowl in lieu of fish or a veggie option for that day. The tradition has been with the church every since until Vatican II, which proclaimed that Catholics only "give up" meat during lent and not on all Fridays throughout the year. This was done because it seemed as if everyone gave up meat automatically on Fridays, and was not realizing the significance behind it. This is why you still see many restaurants (especially in heavy Catholic populations) still offer fish or a seafood option as their daily special on Fridays throughout the year. A lot of "older" Catholics never wanted to give up the tradition after Vatican II.
Also, days of total abstinence (Ash Wednesday and Good Friday) doesn't mean that you cannot eat. It means that you can only have two small meals and one large meal, instead of three square meals.
Hope this helps!
Yes, it's still a dead animal, just in powdered or liquid form. I don't profess to know how the Catholic church views it, but if you're not supposed to be eating dead animals and your examples are all made from dead animals, it would seem to me that the form in which you're eating the dead animal really wouldn't matter. It's still dead animals.
Well, a vegetarian would consider chicken ramen or chicken rice-a-roni to be meat--as it has powdered chicken or chicken fat.
There are faux beef and chicken flavorings that are suitable for veg*ans, but you have to read the label to be sure.
