Today's the last day of the carneval. The word means carne (meat) vale (goodbye). Goodbye meat. Because now's the time for the traditional spring chamfered. I got to know, that before the year 1460, when a pope started to allow butter beeing used in bavaria animals and even butter was forbidden. That means , before that not one animal product was allowed - even not butter. I think it's a nice idea to have a rest for the body. Not a bad idea for a change in fats and for protein combinations. Btw, probably that chamfered period was not a christian invention, but from older times. Spring had no fruit available. I'll start such a period now..... Amadeus
