That's a very strange example to give, since it's almost certain that not
a single person has ever violated Shabbos in order to attend this event!

The SA paskens that a certain kind of belly fat is chelev d'oraisa, but
mentions that there are certain Jews in the Rhineland who rely on a minority

follow his shita and eat it?
