Did Anyone Eat Meat Yesterday?

Did anyone eat meat yesterday, on Good Friday?

Growing up eating meat on both Ash Wednesday or Good Friday was a no no but as I'm not religious I dispensed with this observance about 20 years ago.

Anyone still observe the tradition and if so, why?

Anyone here remember when eating meat apart from fish on ANY Friday was taboo?

I didn't eat meat on Good Friday but it wasn't for religious reasons. I didn't get a chance to have anything at all in work, except for two packets of crisps, and I had fish and chips when I got home.

Most Fridays, they serve fish in the canteen in work, and on the 'no-meat' days you mention, they offer kippers for breakfast as an alternative to pig-meat. They still have the normal meat options so there's no real harm. Turkey was also on the menu today for lunch, seeing as how it's Christmas or something...

So I was at the butcher and I says to her, I says: 'Nothing like starting the day with a big piece of meat inside ya' as I winked at her theatrically.

Does an omelette with cheese and home cooked ham count?

Why is fish seen as some sort of torture by some people ?

I had fish. But that's because I fancied a bit of fish and not out of any religious observance

I didn't, it's perhaps the only holy Joe tradition I observe, stopped going to mass about 20 years ago, only attend now for funerals and weddings.

Had salmon but gave the dog a chicken wing, am I in trouble?

If God exists and we meet him, or St Peter or whoever is on the door that day, do you really think your diet on certain days of the year are going to stop you getting in?

If it will, then I say God's being a little bit childish.

I don't think I did, only coz I'm visiting my parents and they don't cook meat on Good Friday. I don't eat meat every day anyways, so didn't really miss it.

Pork is essential on Good Friday - that way you can offend the Taigs Islamists and Joos in one go!

The dog might be in trouble for other reasons. Save yourself the vet bills - don't give the dog chicken bones.

Otherwise, a few 'our fathers' will see you through.

I had fish yesterday, but then had a meat feast pizza last night. Both were quite tasty.

I accidentally had goujons before I went to bed Thursday night after midnight, so once it was broken I did the right thing and had a fry and more goujons yesterday.

Eggs For Dinner

I have to say the burgers in Ferrycarrig Park on matchday are delicious. Dunno if there is much meat in them though, my soul might still be pure

Went out for a few pints and a fillet steak, came home and got me hole. It wasn’t a good Friday, it was a great one.

Chicken bones are fine for dogs, as long as they are not cooked, even better if frozen, far better than dental sticks or the like, has 2 a week, devours them and never had indigestion!

I'd lovely leg of lamb down in Laragh yesterday and my son had corned beef, we're not in the slightest bit religious.

sydthebeat

I had a very tasty vegetable omelette for dinner...

And great big dirty ham and cheese sambos for lunch.

murphyebass

Cleaned the bbq yesterday so cooked up some hotdogs and chicken fillet burgers.

Also broke the whole not drinkin thing with cider, gin and a lovely Belgian triple spaced out during the day.

So yeah hell it is for me.

Will be doing something similar today and tomorrow judging by the forecast..

I had a few friends around and watched Life of Brian, because I was told it was illegal to do so where I live. Turns out it wasn't.

I like this particular tradition. I would encourage people to eat more fish. Fish Fridays should be a thing.
