Tsiknopémpti, or Fat Thursday, is a day where grilled meat is consumed in large quantities. It is celebrated 59 days before Easter.
Fat Thursday is supposed to be the last chance to eat meat before the coming of Easter. This is because the time of Lent should be observed  which is a time of ...fastiabstaining from all animal products (meat and dairy).
