>  On the topic of eating fowl on Shabbos and Yom Tov, I have found it noteworthy that when we were in the midbar and complained about the lack of "basar" to eat, Hashem answered us by sending fowl. From context, it seems clear to me that He expected the fowl to meet our definition of what we were asking for -- i.e., that fowl (or at least that particular species) meets the definition of "basar" in that context. This does not necessarily prove that fowl provides *enough* oneg or simcha to satisfy Hilchos Shabbos V'YomTov, but still, I think it is noteworthy.

I'll take it a step further:

G-d says He'll send basar - Moshe asks if all the flocks or all the
FISH will be enough, and G-d sends quail. So we see that red meat,
poultry, and fish are all "basar"!
