It's my understanding that the distinguishing characteristic of "meat" in the fasting sense is that the protein comes from a warm-blooded animal. Rattlesnakes are cold-blooded; ergo, they're not "meat."

I always wondered about that. We always had fish on Fridays, but I didn’t know *why* fish wasn’t considered meat.

We’re having eggs for dinner. :)
