Author Topic: Food banned by Cistercian order Mike Member Member # 596 posted 09-19-2005 11:58 AM                I've recently been told that eating chicken was forbidden by the Cistercians. All I can find on a brief web trawl was that Benedictines were banned or discouraged from eating meat from four-legged animals as well as chickens. Is it the same for the Cistercians, and if so would the rule apply for guests visiting their premesis? Any help appreciated.

A member recently got told about it at a late-medieval event for cooking chicken at a Cistercian site. Just wondered how much of the rule was practically adhered to.
