(So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah hath provided for you) of crops and cattle and wholesome things, (and thank) and remember (the bounty of your Lord if it is Him ye serve) if it is really Him you want to worship through the prohibition of some cattle and crops. If you have done so to worship Allah, then make them lawful, for worshipping Allah entails making lawful that which you have made forbidden.
