    Well, I didn't read the threads already open, so might have been asked already.

    Today = Good Friday, did you stick with the Catholic tradition of abstaining from meat and tuck into a piece of salmon? Or no? :)

    Did/would you eat meat/chicken today? 66 votes

    I'm a practicing Catholic & wouldn't eat meat on Good Friday

    I ate meat. Looks like I have to tick no religion in the next census or the atheists will go mental again.

    I'll tell the priest/God at confession on Sunday and it'll all be grand. That's how it works isn't it?

    I ate some minute steak but I dont think that counts as meat, more like chewing on a strip of leather.

    Lovely Calzone Kiev, washed down with an Ice cold Peroni, in a restaurant beside the sea.

    Bliss.

    Aw man, another one of these threads! It's an obsession!

    Anyway, we should just be turning them into fellatio/cunnilingus punfests IMO - far more fun.

    I'm crap at making polls! :(

    As an aside: I'm 'Catholic' on paper, but I don't go to Mass and such. I do teach Religion though but that's beside the point. I ate chicken & beef today and got harassed by my sister. I questioned her as to when the last time she was at Mass/what did she give up for Lent etc, as I'm baffled as to how people who don't follow Catholic/Christian methods in other ways follow the 'No meat on Good Friday/Ash Wednesday' rule - what's the point? :/
