My Mam sticks to this rule religiously. Omelette or fish every Good Friday...although this morning she did ask if I was going to Tesco for a brekkie roll...so maybe I will have a proper dinner tonight.

I'm having steak later.

I've a tub of hot n spicy chicken wings at home I can't wait to tuck into!!

Wouldn't eat meat if around at my folks though.

BaconZombie

I'm going to have Blue Steak and Beer for Dinner Today like I do every "Dry Friday".

star-pants

Don't think the rule really applies in our house.
But I don't really like meat anyway so I probably wouldn't have been having any.

mike65

Stuffing and nonsence (with gravy) :pac:

Mike.

thewools

Tuna, potato salad, cheese and onion roll on the way!!!

Aint i so good

There's a couple of lamb chops in the fridge so I'll put them in a sandwich for lunch. And dinner will be a large curry chips and this chipper puts chicken on anything for a bit extra so I'll get that, also the extra bacon and a meat pattie or 2 to top it off. Am I missed any of the major meat groups?

Yum yum to steak for din dins

Sounds like chicken and fish don't count as animals in your household then?

Bacon and white pudding were part of my breakfast this morning ..... mmmm

I never got how meat can't be eaten but fish is ok. It's not like a fish is a floating vegetable! Anyway it's roast pork and stuffing for me today and just after having pepperoni pizza for lunch, atheism is tasty.

feylya

I'm about to get up and have a fry

Mint Sauce

will have a fish supper later, dont know what i want for lunch tbh, maybe a sambo or some pasta

ciaran76

Chicken Ceaser salad bagel for lunch....really nice

Ba-dum tischhhh!

We generally make a point of having a barbeque on the front lawn on Good Friday, though the early March falling has slightly scuppered that one this year.

I detest people who abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday but do not go to Mass every Sunday and also sin and whatnot.

So are you saying you are not a sinner. I suppose since you are without sin you can cast the first stone.

I observe the tradition of only having fish on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and I dont have a problem with it

yup. agreed. im veggie so im good anyway - but fish is meat.. so why is one for of white mwat ok & not chicken? Anyway, regardless... where did it come from, im sure why jesus was dying his words weren't "put the lamb shanks down people"... not bein funny but who made that up?
And, the whole pubs closed - whats that? To uniquely punish the irish way of life

Toto Wolfcastle

I always say I wont eat meat on Good Friday and Ash Wednesday but I always forget and then feel all guilty!

It was going to be fish tonight but I'm going to my friend's house and she wants to get a Chinese and I don't eat Chinese without meat!

There are plenty of other days that I don't eat meat anyway so that might do, right?

Well, Im not even religious... but if you are religious, surely you dont get to pick out which parts of your beliefs are worth obeying?
Coz that would just be thinking for yourself, and we know how the church establishment feels about that

+1.

This country needs fewer "occasional Catholics", ye all just serve to skew the figures and prevent change.

Steak(just steak, not eating veg today;)) and beer for dinner.

Ironically, you shouldn't worry too much, as the sole purpose of the catholic church is to make you feel guilty.

enjoy your grub lads... jesus sacrificed so ye could have..

Great, I feel much better now!

I think my guilt stems from the time I went out to lunch on Ash Wednesday and had chicken because I forgot and when my mum found out she gave the old evil eye!

RonMexico

3 rashers, 4 pieces of pudding(2 black 2 white) and three sausages on the pan right now. Later I'm having Fillet Steak in Black Pepper Sauce and a six pack. I also just fed my Piranhas some chicken.

Sarn

Just finished my ham and cheese toastie. Steak for dinner, simply because I've no other food in the house and couldn't be bothered going out in that weather.

Thank you Jebus for the day off though.

Irish_Army01

Tuna Steaks with Chips and a side of veg.

My name is Todd

Dunno what the big deal is , a carpenter with his 12 mates telling stories when he should be hanging doors wouldn't be unique

Ruu_Old

Just had a brekkie roll.

...and I bet they had a few glasses of wine during that last supper thing as well, wouldn't be much of a farwell dinner otherwise.

Tar.Aldarion

Nope, no meat today. ;-)

rediguana

I thought chicken was allowed?

Crazy rule anyway. No wonder nobody will sign up to be a priest these days. Guys need a bit of meat.

I'll float down to Tesco later and see what looks fresh (probably nothing) and then decide.

All I've had so far today is two glasses of Soya milk (hey, it's nice) so I'm off to a good start. I can't help thinking about the Amazonian rainforest that was levelled though to make space for the Soybean plantation. What a world, what a world

Ponster

Got a fresh Sea Bass caught this morning that just can't wait to be popped into the oven this evening.

Good Friday is a great excuse to dig out my best fish recipies !

Wertz

I went for the full Irish fry up this monring. Meat never tasted so good.

Funny story: Good Friday back in 1982, I was going on holiday with my mother and her sister...we arived in London on the 5.30am train from Holyhead, and we were all starving...the only place we could get anything hot to eat at that time of morning was Mc Donalds, so it's was hamburgers all round (this was back before anyone had the bright idea of doing abreakfast menu in Mc D's).
I've never really paid any attention to catholic rules and guidelines since...

Wasn't the last supper on the Thursday, he was arrested that night and crucified the followign day (Friday).

I went to Mcdonalds and got a 1/4 pounder so no meat for me.

Mossy Monk

Had breakfast at work today and it contained meat. To hell with me.

Nature Boy

This is the only religious tradition I keep. I'm so good that I do this every day

Karl Hungus

Well, I like fish, so it's no biggie, but I've already had beef and chicken today. With fish for dinner, I'm going to have eaten quite a variety of animals.
