Raw Fish Salad toss – a biblical approach

I thank my God every time I remember you.
-Philippians 1:3

One of my friends shared this with me, I think this is interesting (This has never crossed my mind before)! An approach in Christian aspect...

Vegetables (carrots) & fruits (pomelo)
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.

Ezekiel 47:12
Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.

Spices (Cinnamon, pepper)
Songs of Songs 4:13-16
Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.
You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon. Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden that its fragrance may spread abroad.

Oil
Psalms 45:6-7
Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

Plum Sauce (Honey)
Leviticus 20:24
Bit I said to you, “ You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the nations”.

Sesame seeds, Peanuts
Is 61:11
For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

Cracker (flour)
1 Kings 17:14-16
For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.’ She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food for every day.

Raw Fish (Prosperity)
Mark 6:41-43
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them al. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
