It's not technically beef, but some argue it's the spirit of the thing.
"The turtle tradition started when the late Vern Maier, [the] original Dorf Haus owner, thought his loyal customers, many of whom were Catholics, would like to try something different, other than fish during lent and turtle qualified," the Sauk Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce explains onAlthough Catholics don't eat meat during Lent, turtles are on the list of acceptable food choices, as are other cold-blooded reptiles, amphibians, fish, and shellfish.
Some of the more devout have taken the time to ask permission to have a plant-based burger, but others have clearly just decided to go for it. Epic Burger, which has eight restaurants in and around Chicago, told thethat sales of its own Beyond Burgers increase by 10 to 12 percent during Lent, and the company says that it "absolutely" sees the season as an opportunity to sell more meatless meats.
But because the appeal of those particular patties is how much they mimic the appearance, taste, and even the mouthfeel of "traditional" meats, should Catholics feel guilty about eating them during Lent?although things like chicken broth, soups that are cooked with or flavored with meat, and seasonings made with animal fat are "technically not forbidden," moral theologians have suggested that Catholics should refrain from eating anything derived from an animal.
Rev. Marlon Mendieta, a parochial vicar at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, echoes that sentiments, because he says that Lent isn't just about being meat-free on Fridays. For Catholics, it's also for penitence, and for repenting of their sins.
