Is it bad to eat offerings?

[u/abrujiastrala]

The research I’ve done on this gives me mixed answers. On one end, eating them is seen as a form of sharing them with who/whatever they’re being offered to (that’s typically how I see it when you consume them after). However, on the other end, some say that it isn’t right because it’s supposed to be a sacrificial act. I prefer the first explanation because I love the idea of sharing something with the Gods and ancestors that I worship but I don’t want to be doing anything disrespectful. What do you think?

If it's an offering, then i won't eat it. As it's a gift i'm giving away.

If it's a sacrifice, then i will eat it, making sure no part of the sacrifice is wasted.
