During Lent one year, many of the brothers were fasting very strictly (more strictly than is advised, even for monks). In fact it had gotten to a point of pride as some got sick, and others were refusing to eat certain foods. One debate got down to some monks refusing to eat peanut butter sandwiches, because there's peanut oil in it.
So during Trapezia after a service, Father Seraphim made himself a large Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich, making sure peanut butter and peanut oil was dripping out of it.
"Father! What are you doing?! There's oil in that, you're breaking the fast!" A few told him
"What? There's no oil in this! It's peanut juice!"
Then he scolded them for being so ridiculous and getting into fights or getting sick.
