Maigre and Gras not literally thin and fat

[edit]

It occurs to me that the terms "maigre" and "gras" do not literally mean fat or lean, but are religious in origin. Maigre (lean) means suitable for eating during liturgical periods of fasting (such as Fridays and Lent), and gras (as in lard, meat, eggs, cheese, and butter) can be eaten when not fasting.Mballen (talk) 07:52, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
