[Sca-cooks] Broke fast last night

[Laura C. Minnick]

Well, yes and no. The definitions of 'feast day' are mutable. Modernly 
it sort of means 'eat whatever the hell you want' day. In the 8th c, it 
meant 'you can have more food, and fancier food, but still no animal 
food'. I have not been able to find (despite a lot of looking) where and 
when the change happened.
