You post religously but what does it all mean? Like arent oats and
beef always in season? Whats it supposed to mean I wonder? What does
Abstain to eat mean? does it mean "abstain from eating"? Where do
you get these ideas from? I surely will never eat "milky products of
ewe and nanny goat."

I asked once, but the response didn't make things any clearer. I think
some regular posted his understanding of this once, you might find it
with Google groups... Not that it made much sense then either.

Near as I can tell he's assembled all of the dietary restrictions
from all of the religions he's ever heard of and tabulated when
their dietary restrictions occur on the calendar. The language
barrier is immense so I can't tell if my impression is correct
or what relevancy suc a table would have.

Study enough religions and you'll find most of the items he
has listed.

You don't like cheese? More for me then. Many types of
cheese are made from milk other than cow. The best romano
is made from sheep milk. There are many delicious types of
goat cheese.
