Huh? I *like* fish. I would eat the fish. Unless it was raw. I don't 
think the bible story talks about them cooking it or not. And if they 
forgot to bring any food, I doubt the spectators brought cooking 
utensils. But yes, there are ways to improvise.
> but around here, fish has been vanishing.
Well yes, overfishing and pollution do have an impact... despite what 
the current administration thinks. :-)
> Some of us LIKE our vegetables, even the scaled ones...
Well yes, as messages in this file indicate, the idea that folks will 
not eat fish at feasts does have its exceptions. But enough will not, 
and we've talked about this enough, that I thought I'd joke about it.
