Answer:
I agree that it depends on what type of nuns you are asking about. Buddhist Nuns are often vegetarian (no eggs as well), and sometimes they also avoid garlic and onions, or ginger and strong spices. But other times they will eat whatever is offered to them, unless the meat was specifically slaughtered for them (this is in the Vinaya- the Buddhist code for monastics). At Buddhist temples and monastaries with nuns, the food will most likely be vegetarian and fairly simple (not strongly spiced), with no garlic, chilis, or onions.
Roman Catholic nuns run the gamut, and it really depends their order's philosophy. They generally eat what everyone else eats, with the principle that their food should not be extravagant. They may follow special fasting and abstinence rules, such as no meat on Wednesdays and Fridays, and no sugar, dairy, and eggs during lent. More austere orders which don't do community activities (like teaching, nursing, community service) are often limited to one or two simple meals a day, usually bread and stew or beans and rice. If the order involves manual labor and they garden, they may supplement their regular food with fresh seasonal vegetables from the garden. Generally (this is in a very broad sense), they don't eat much meat because it is expensive and a "luxury."
Orthodox nuns generally follow the Orthodox fasting guidelines (certain days are without certain combinations of meat, fish, dairy, olive oil, sugar, honey, nuts, or wine), but their food is often simpler than what is permitted for the laity at the given time- for example, on a day with no food restrictions, they may not eat meat, and on a day where meat and dairy is restricted, they may also abstain from honey and wine.
I'm not a monastic so I can't speak with absolute authority- this is just what I've gathered from my readings and interactions. Hope this helps.
Why, food of course.
FOOD OFCOURSE
Nun food and sometimes fasting (no food).
I have no idea but I'm thinking they eat healthy.
MONKS FISH.
fish and chips
I believe it depends on the order that she belongs to.
I know that most nuns eat what other non-religious people eat. A close family friend was a nun and we didn't prepare anything differently when she came over.
they eat really simple food, such as bread or soup or something like that. apparently it doesn't taste very nice
As much as possible..
Other nuns.
become one and you'll see
The same things everyone else eats.
chocolate and lots of it cause its better than sex
i have family who r nuns and they r vegitarians so its just normal vegitarian food i suppose
I dont know but they sit in pairs to make sure one nun dont get nun (could not resist that).
tree bark and nuts.. i assume so cuz of the whole holy monastic thing
I don't know, but I've read a few books where there were nuns in it. They eat really plain food, like porridge, I think. They don't eat things like barbeque ribs dripping with sauce because it's supposed to be indulgence.
bread and water lol. food of course silly
I spent my years in Catholic school ---- they eat alot of chocolate! All of them, the young ones, the old ones, the mean ones....
they don't eat at all. They survive only on the love of Jesus..... blah blah... crap... bullshit
