When my dad was a kid (around 1920 or so) it was common in NYC (at least where he lived) for people to purchase live poultry and kill it themselves.  One year for Thanksgiving his mother bought a live turkey, which she kept in the bathtub for a couple of days. Then she killed and cooked it.  He had made friends with the turkey, and for many years he refused to ever eat turkey, he was so upset.

Not lamb? To me, and pretty much the whole of Europe, lamb is the Easter meat, symbolising as it does not only the Lamb of God but also the lamb that was the main dish at the Last Supper. Do Americans not eat lamb at Easter? I'm really amazed.

Actually, Pope Benedict declared back in 2007 that lamb would have not been served at the Last Supper because it took place before the sacrifice of the lambs and was not a traditional Passover seder.  I didn't know this until I looked it up just now :)

Though symbolically, the death of Jesus was akin to the sacrifice of the lambs for the Passover.

I live in the Southern US, we never had lamb for Easter. We always had ham. When I was older I was sort of shocked when I found other people had lamb. In my faith, we are "washed in the blood of the lamb", so in my very,very young mind, it was like eating Jesus! I know, silly, but we still have ham! And always Coconut Cake.

He was going against two millennia of Christian belief and practice, and also the three Synoptic Gospels, all of which state quite specifically that it took place on the evening of 'the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread'*, which was and is the evening when the Passover meal is eaten. Mark and Luke are the most specific of all, saying 'the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread' when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb'*. Only John says at the beginning of Ch 13 'It was just before the Passover Festival'* and implies that Jesus's crucifixion took place on the same day as the Passover lambs were being sacrificed. (People have tried to reconcile these conflicting statements but I believe nobody has done so convincingly.)
