fade2black

Well?

Me mammy would kill me.

Terry

i've got some chicken boiling at the moment.
it will be eaten today.

Merrick

Yes.
My Nana would kill me, but she doesn't have to know...

connundrum

Bollocks, I've already had me breakfast roll.. had I copped that today was 'no meat day' I would have relished it a bit more, or had a tuna roll :rolleyes: Hindsight is brilliant

scojones

Woops, just had a fry...

Kinetic^

Yes I will be eating meat, several meaty chunks.

BoozyBabe

Nope, not today.

It'll keep the ma happy & sure it's only for 1 day! (Well, Good Friday as well but that's a while away yet)

Also only doing the 3 meals thing & giving up all bad stuff for lent!

Will be mammy's bestest girl for a few weeks!!!

Dave!

I hope so... Me ma does the cookin, so we'll see what she whips up!

xzanti

Oooops

ferdi

have to keep me ma happy.

Peaadina

Iv eaten meat on Ash wednesday for the last few yrs, cos i forgot all about it!
But my Mam has reminded me 4 times today alone!

So no, it shall be veggie all day! ah well;)

Sleepy

I love catholic "holidays", they make me feel sane.

So yes, it'll be steak for dinner tonight.

finlma

I'll make a point of it.

Where did the idea come from anyway? I bet Jesus had a sneaky bacon sandwich out in the desert. If he can turn water into wine I'm sure he could turn sand into a breakfast role.

fade2black

hence the name sandwich...






sorry.

Ha ha, you reckon he's looking down and laughing at us for fretting over dinner when he could always have whipped up a steak when he was peckish?

koneko

I'm not Irish and I'm not Catholic. If I don't eat meat today, it'll be purely coincidental.

I do have my eye on some nice fish for lunch though.

Chong

I wont be eating meat.

AngryBadger

I'm defrosting a half pound of mince right now

Am not christian so yeah. Though I'm not the one doing the cooking so we'll have to see.

Kojak

I wont be eating meat today.

Lux23

I probably will. Its a long time since I observed anything like this.

Chrissy

Yip, I'm planning on eating some meat tonight.
Bet my BF will be happy to hear that!!!!

Binomate

I thought Ash Wednesday was a day to give rememberance to all of those unfortunate enough to burn their pancakes on Shrove Tuesday? I'll sure as hell be having a nice big red steak tonight.

Not if he's a Christian child :v:

Chrissy

So long as he doesn't have to eat any he should be happy enough

Tobias Greeshman

Definitely eating some sort of meat today. These Catholic holidays make me laugh.

Think maybe a steak, chicken or a spaghetti bolegnese is on the menu tonight.

cournioni

I'm going to have a big steak, rashers, sausages, chicken etc. Just to piss off everyone I know.

Merrick

^^ Assuming they're not doing the same of course.

el tel

I'm having white truffles, lobster, stuffed quail's eggs and caviar. Nothing too outrageous, it is Lent after all.

robinph

Wouldn't have really bothered me on way or the other, but now I know I'll be making sure I get as much dead animal into me as possible today.

ZiabR

Well the last two years in a row i have eaten meat (totally forgetting what day it was). I will prob eat meat today as i have never paid much attention to Catholic holidays. But i am not eating meat to make a point, i just dont see the point in anyone of it.

rainbow kirby

Tbh, today is an opportunity to eat as many kinds of meat as possible

Pigman II

It would make more sense if Ash Wednesday and Pancake Tuesday were combined into the one day. At least then you'd have a alternative serving suggestion.

tk123

I will be eating meat in my lunch sammich - beef, cheese, picke,salad on ciabatta heated for 1 min in the microwave!!! mmmmmmmm sacralicious

Mossy Monk

didnt know it was Ash Wednesday until i saw this thread

That's already sort of happening. I've friends who stuffed themselves so full of pancakes last night they don't feel like eating anything at all today. Well so far today anyway.

Terry

shellfish and pork every friday and saturday as a big fuck you to the three major religions

Femelade

i actually forgot about it. i took mince out of the freezer....but i think there's fish in there somewhere too..
i dunno what i'll do really.

Rb

Yep, looking forward to a nice steak tonight.

Rockee

:eek: Its today? Arse! Ive just finished my CHICKEN and white wine Campbells soup, plus Im going to the Ireland match later and was hoping to munch a quarter pounder en route.....Im not the most pius but still!:p

Lump

Yes, nice bit o pork for dinner, and maybe a hang sandwich later

rubadub

....my girlfriend.

Sorry, I've done that joke already!

But, you never know:- she might!!!:D

Yes, just to buck the irrational trend of religions. I'll be having chicken curry tonight, followed by sex with my (unmarried!!!!) girlfriend, and I might aswell use a condom to secure a one way ticket to hell.

Seriously though, isn't religion a bit thick at times? Don't eat meat? Don't have sex until you're married? And even then, don't use Condoms? Don't eat shellfish/pork? The world would be such a better place without these childish rules. If there is a God, I reckon he's bordering on suicidal having to listen to the same prayers being repeated day after day after day for the last few thousand years, not to mention amused by the stupid rules we as humans have come up with for ourselves.
