why do the leprechauns eat flesh?

Leprechauns eat most of the food humans do, but we wouldn't eat some of the stuff they do. For instance, they use fungus that grow on the base of trees for butter. Alcoholic beverages are a favourite among Leprechauns, especially whiskey, but they also like spring water,milk,and tea. \n\nLeprechaun XXX ~ More intelligent than the fairy and less malicious than the imp, the pixie, or the Doxy, the leprechaun is nevertheless mischievous. Found only in Ireland, it achieves a height of up to six inches and is green in color. It has been known to create crude clothing from leaves. Alone of the “little people”, leprechauns can speak, though they have never requested reclassification as “beings”. The leprechaun bears live young and lives mostly in forest and woodland areas, though it enjoys attracting Muggle attention and as a consequence features almost as heavily as the fairy in Muggle literature for children. Leprechauns produce a realistic goldlike substance that vanishes after a few hours, to their great amusement. Leprechauns eat leaves and, despite their reputation as pranksters, are not known ever to have done lasting damage to a human.

They answered this in one of the interviews after one ot the finales. They aren't allowed to eat them unless they 'come into camp and fall over dead'. If they did, the natives might get angry... no to mention PETA.

The Irish were very poor with little to eat. Corned beef and cabbage was considered cheap food just thrown together to fill their stomachs. There's more to this of course, but it became a tradition to eat it on St. Patrick's Day.

Apparently not...\n\nIn Irish mythology, a leprechaun (Modern Irish: leipreachán) is a type of male elf said to inhabit the island of Ireland. They are a class of "faerie folk" associated in Irish mythology and folklore, as with all faeries, with the Tuatha Dé Danann and other quasi-historical races said to have inhabited Ireland before the arrival of the Celts.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechauns#Etymology

I have heard that is why they became cannibals.

Flesh eating disease cause by bacteria.\n\nBy the way, it's FASCIITIS.

Depends what kind of animals! Some eat other animals.  Some forage under the snow for food.  Some eat tree bark, etc.  Some get fed by humans.

Maybe they ate unicorns and heffalumps and murmaids and that's why there aren't any now. :o)\n\nIn my opinion, the whole story is a parable, so it's pointless to ask about such details.

It isnt that they worship them... \n\nHinus believe that all animals have Atman or soul and thus should not be killed. Also killing leads to bad karmic consequences and the consumption of flesh is not sattvic; meaning one can not achieve full spirituality or a close connection with Lord.

I hunt Zombies for there tasty rotting flesh. Its just delicious. If you are hunting a Zombie for food, so you can survive, then it's ok. If you are hunting just for the sport it is wrong. If your gonna kill it, eat it

Again I answer a question so ridiculous that it's fun.\nIt wouldn't be much of a fight. Cannibals will eat human flesh, while your overweight chick wouldn't quite have acquired a taste for it. Even members of the ill-fated Donner party used it as a last resort for survival. She'd probably take one chomp and proclaim her opponent 'too gamy'. Meanwhile, the cannibal, armed with the knowledge of what are the prime parts, plus the proper recipes, would dive into her with relish (pun intended).\nInsert your own Jeffery Dahmer joke here.\nGod, this was in bad taste (again, pun intended).

your question is out of context.\nChrist said "drink of my blood and eat of my flesh" that does not mean literally drink blood and eat flesh. It means quench yr thirst for righteousness through accepting Christ's blood shed for us. It means to follow his righteous path and to preserve his memory in our hearts. Its a symbol!\n\nNothingn to do with blood transfusions. Those who cannot accept a blood transfucion usually are radical and sects that have not understood much of the context in which Christ instructed us since he came to earth.\n\nI would accept blood transf. if it s not contaminated with hiv thats for sure . So you make sure you go to a blood bank that absolutely has no hiv in their blood bags.

It is exactly the same reason why cannibals eat clowns. Because they taste funny.

Cosha? You mean 'kosher'? That has to do with Jewish preparation, they have all kinds of rules too.\n\nMuslims and Jews do not eat pork of any type because the pig is considered an unclean animal. It's an omnivore, which means it can and will eat anything, and in the desert regions of the world, where these religions originated, the pigs ate whatever they could find, and it was often carrion, old rotting meat, even human remains ... so naturally pork wasn't considered safe for human consumption. If you look through old newspapers, you will find gruesome stories of pigs attacking very young children because the pigs are hungry and the children are there ... and easily overpowered. But the pigs are omnivores ... like us.

Look at the whole chapter, Leviticus 11:::\n\n                 Leviticus 11:1  And the Etrnl spake unto \n                 Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2  \n                 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, \n                 These are the beasts which ye shall eat \n                 among all the beasts that are on the \n                 earth. 3  Whatsoever......\n\nit goes on to say what is edible from the domesticated animals (must both chew its cud and have cloven hoofs), and from the waters (must have fins and scales).\n\nFurthermore, the animals must be killed by humans (road-kill is outlawed):::\n\n                Exodus 22:31  And ye shall be holy men unto \n                me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is \n                torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast \n                it to the dogs. \n\nThere are four levels to keeping kosher. The first, defined by the Bible, is the list of animals 'fit' or 'proper' to be eaten. This is found as you read above from Leviticus 11.\n\nThe next level is how the animal is slaughtered. It must be done as instantly and as painlessly as possible. This is insured by making the slaughtering a religious ritual so that it must be done the same way every time.\n\nThe third level is how the meat is prepared. Jews are forbidden to eat blood::\n\n          Leviticus 17:10  And whatsoever man there \n          be of the house of Israel, or of the \n          strangers that sojourn among you, that \n          eateth any manner of blood; I will even \n          set my face against that soul that eateth \n          blood, and will cut him off from among \n          his people. 11  For the life of the flesh \n          is in the blood: and I have given it to \n          you upon the altar to make an atonement \n          for your souls: for it is the blood that \n          maketh an atonement for the soul. 12  \n          Therefore I said unto the children of \n          Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, \n          neither shall any stranger that \n          sojourneth among you eat blood. \n\nTherefore as much of the blood as is possible must be removed. The way this is done is by a very very thick, course salt. The meat is covered with it, the salt soaks up much of the blood, and then the bloody salt is washed off. This is repeated a few times.\n\nThe fourth level is how the meat is served. The Bible tells us that one must not boil a baby goat in its own mother's milk. It was a pagan, not Jewish, custom to take a baby goat and boil it alive in its own mother's milk. The pagans felt this was some sort of magical thing, that the life-giving milk killed the animal instead....who can understand the pagan mentality? At any rate, Gd forbids the Jews from the horrible practice, and so in 3 places in the Bible::\n\n          Exodus 23:19  The first of the \n          firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring \n          into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou \n          shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's \n          milk. \n\n          Exodus 34:26  The first of the \n          firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring \n          unto the house of the Etrnl thy Gd. Thou \n          shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's  \n          milk. \n\n          Deuteronomy 14:21  Ye shall not eat of \n          any thing that dieth of itself: thou \n          shalt give it unto the stranger that is \n          in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou \n          mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou \n          art an holy people unto the Etrnl thy Gd. \n          Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his \n          mother's milk. \n\nFrom this the Jews learn another lesson, and that is that Gd does not want us to mix life, which is the milk, with death, which is the meat. Jews who keep these laws dont mix milk or milk products with meat or meat products, to stay holy to Gd. Remember that 'holy' means 'different, set ap

More quickly. Big pieces of flesh are eaten by scavengers and predators, starting with sharks and large fish, moving all the way down to tiny fish and plankton. When they're pretty clean, they sink and break down normally. \n\nGood Luck with the murder plot! (just kidding)
