It's a bit early, Lent season doesn't start for a few weeks, but I am already pondering menus. Years of Catholic upbringing makes "Fish on Friday" a priority for my wife.
I do not observe the season myself (well, I guess I do just cause I eat what my wife eats, but she gets more out of it than I do). However, I did a little checking. In the 50's, the church would make eating meat a mortal sin and you were doomed to hell (or at the least purgatory) if you had those ribs you wanted. But, thanks to the Vatican II conference of the early 60's, meat eating was no longer a mortal sin.It does beg the question of what happened to those souls that ate meat during the time it was a mortal sin? But, in the end, it is probably a moot point, as the type of people who eat meat on Friday are likely to be the type of people who commit other sins and they end up in Hell anyway...
But I digress...
These crab cakes are the real thing. Go ahead and pop for the expensive Lump Crab. It has just enough spices to enhance the flavor of the meat. The optional sauce is my now famous New Orleans Remoulade Sauce. Easy to make and delicious on these little treats!
So happy Mardi Gras and save this recipe for the weeks after Fat Tuesday. Makes sacrifice Tasty!
