Yanggen chumocho hao kåtne an Kuaresma na Bietnes, siempre ma hågga' i katne.
If you eat meat on a Lenten Friday, the meat will surely turn bloody.
Well, that's what some mañaina (elders) told us to scare us when we were tempted to break the rules of Lent and eat meat on a Friday in Lent.
Even though the rule applied to only those 14 years old and up, most parents and grandparents applied the rule even to the small children!
Well who wants a mouthful of blood?
So the threat that the meat, no matter how well-cooked it was, will fill your mouth with blood was enough to scare some children from eating meat on a Lenten Friday.
