    Going to eat pancakes.

    With today being the national day of remembering the things exist, I expect I'll be binging on them for the next month, or until the cravings fizzle out. Then it'll be a long wait until this time next year.

    The only meal I eat that doesn't contain meat is breakfast and even then, I sometimes have meat.

    Om nom nom nom all the meat.

    Don't see why not. All the Catholics will be chewing on Jesus himself

    I grew up a Catholic (whatever that means) and I don't remember (or forgot) having to avoid meat for Ash Wednesday.

    Short answer: Yes
    Long answer: Yes please

    Yes, but it can't use a calculator.

    I generally don't follow dietary advice from men who habitually wear dresses and talk about their imaginary friend in the sky......

    Why do people still pretend it's noteworthy if they eat meat on catholic feasts?

    And someone even said they plan to eat sweets during Lent? Are they in school?

    Catholic here ,but never understood the reasoning behind abstaining on Ash Wednesday / Good Friday .

    In my younger days ,I also was told not to eat anything one hour before receiving Holy Communion .

    Used to always give up sweets for Lent too but was allowed eat sweets on Patricks Day.

    Have been eating meat every day of the week now for years .

    I think you may be mixing up Catholicism with something completely different there.

    "Remember, man, that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return."

    Aren't ye a brave bunch of Rebels. You'd thing ye were in danger of being nabbed by the Inquisition and burned at the stake (steak).

    I'll be enjoying a nice fish dish tomorrow - I wouldn't eat meat because it's an old tradition to abstain from meat on that day and not because I'm afraid of the local curate. I enjoy the flesh of our watery cousins as much as mammalian muscle, so it's no hardship to me to abstain from a tender steak for one day.

    I've already over-indulged on the auld pancakes.

    I'm off the fags for Lent. (Haven't smoked for years though)

    I'm going to sacrifice myself to the God of the sea and throw myself into the atlantic in the nip, with a pair of arm bands though

    Went into a rural shop years ago on ash wednesday looking for a ham roll and they wouldnt serve me one. 'No meat served today' the lady said.

    I eat some kinda meat most days so tomorrow will be no exception.
