What happened to the meat after an animal was sacrificed in a pagan temple?

Les explains that when pagans took their animals to be sacrificed in a pagan temple, the priests of that pagan temple would keep a certain portion of that meat for themselves, much like Israel did. Then they would give the remaining part of the carcass back to the individual, and it was his to do as he felt. This practice stands behind Paul's discussion of the wedding feast. Paul never tells believers to stay away from such a feast; they were free to go. A mature believer need not worry about the idol's power, because idolatrous gods can do nothing to a believer. Yet if eating that meat causes a young believer to stumble, Paul says not to eat it.
