The Lord: "In
an emergency, you can eat the meat of any animal, and it will
serve you well. Because all nourishment that a human being is
forced to eat because of a certain predicament, is cleansed by
Me; but here, he must exercise an even greater temperance. The
flesh of pigs is good, but the blood of the slaughtered animal
must be well drained, and the meat should marinate for seven
days in salt and vinegar and thyme. Then it should be taken out
of this solution and dried well with a linen cloth, and smoked
in good wood and herbs for several weeks, until it becomes
totally hard and dry.
If you wish to eat
this meat, boil it first in half water, half wine, with thyme
and parsley. Therewith, you will have good and healthy
nourishment on the table. These animals, however, must always be
slaughtered in the winter.
"In the manner as we
dealt with the pigs, that is how you must deal with all other
unclean animals; their flesh, when eaten in moderation, should
not harm human beings. That which applies to animals on land,
also applies to the various species in the air, and a multitude
of animals in the great oceans!'
