Missing the point

Rich Leonardi notices this article

If meat will be missing from your table this Lent — a 40-day period of prayer, penance and sacrifice for Roman Catholics and other Christians — savory seafood dishes are a great way to replicate the hearty comfort foods you’ll be giving up.

Catholics often observe Lent in part by abstaining from meat on Fridays. This recipe for swordfish with tomato-olive ragu provides the meaty texture and heft you otherwise would miss.

Because Lent is all about giving up things without noticing you are giving up anything.
