[Sca-cooks] Bread and wine in the Catholic church

[Tom Vincent]

Sounds like poetic justice to me, but then again, I have trouble with 
the concept of 'innocent Christians'. :)

I've heard of some religions where one of the deities eats people, but I 
think only Catholicism turns it around.  Joseph Campbell had a 
fascinating book showing the link between the Jesus story and many 
similar hero myths from earlier times, especially Prometheus.

Shifting the topic a bit, there are many foodstuffs that were/are sacred 
to a particular religion.  One that comes to mind is Amaranth to the 
Aztecs.  Anyone done a feast where each dish featured a 'sacred' ingredient?
