Pascha!

[gzt]

A holiday celebrated in part by eating massive amounts of meat: lamb, ham, beef, etc. A true 70s big holiday.

Are you Greek? I had a great Easter. A whole lamb on the spit, kokoretsi (innards and guts, wrapped in intestines, heavily salted and peppered, also on the spit), village sausages, beer, potatoes baked in the coals...

Don't have to be a believer to enjoy the good stuff in religious holidays.

I'm not Greek (Polish) but the first time I shoved potatoes into the coals my American friends looked at me like I had two heads.

Possibly they were confused by the head-like size of your biceps...

My dream is to one day eat my way around the world. What should I eat when i get to Poland?

Pierogi (dumbplings filled with cheese/potatoes, cabbage/mushrooms, or meat), golobki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golumpki) , kielbasa (not this knock off shit you get in the states), barszcz, bigos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigos), kotlet, oscypek (smoked sheep's cheese,if you can find the real thing made from actual sheep's cheese, real stuff is indigenous to southern Poland and not really available in stores rather street-side or farms), bundz, bryndza, and zetyca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundz) (variety of sheep's milk products), and smalec (mix of lard, bacon and carmelized onion used as a spread on bread (in lieu of the bread and dipping oil often given here prior to meals), and lastly wodka and sledzie (pickled herring, an hors d'œuvre in eastern europe). I grew up in the south so my choices may have a different "flavor" than some people from other parts.

Hell eat everything you can get your hands on that is written in Polish. I swear eastern European cuisine in general was designed for 70's Bigdom and lifting heavy weights.

Indeed he is risen! Although I'm a fairly agnostic Orthodox Christian these days, I still get in every once in awhile. Did you fast beforehand? And if so, no meat/dairy, or no eating during the day? And if you fasted, did you still train? I was thinking about this the other day, wondering how training would be going if I was more devout and was keeping the fast.

I was thinking about this the other day, wondering how training would be going if I was more devout and was keeping the fast.

I think considering that we are allowed, at least until the last few days, to stuff ourselves silly with fish and shellfish and nuts and seeds, I think you could train pretty well even if "fasting".

I myself have never fasted for Easter, being an Atheist-Greek-Orthodox ;-) but I still eat like a pig starting midnight on Saturday and all through Easter Sunday!
