Abstaining meat on Good Friday

jamo2oo9

How many of you do? I don't. Every year, my mother says no meat on Good Friday and every year, I go to the takeaway shop and get me 12" pepperoni pizza, quarter pounder with cheese and two battered sausages.

I've got 1.5kg of roast beefy goodness in the oven as I type!

Might go to the pub later too :cool:

Going to pick up two of the finest fillet steaks on the way home from work.
And plenty mushrooms and onion.

Good to see people protest against the stuff that matters

I hope you pick up a bottle of Gaviscon to go with that? A defibrillator too, perhaps.

I don't go out of my way to avoid it or to eat it. I may eat meat or I may not. Good Friday has fcuk all to do with it.

I don't need much excuse to eat fish. I love it. Having said that, I'll often forget and eat meat by accident. Has yet to kill me!

A bottle of whiskey to wash it all down. That'll show them!

+1.. It's kinda pathetic how so many people go out of their way just to stick it to the invisible man in the sky which they say they don't believe or doesn't play any part in their lives :pac:

If you eat a big load of fcuking meat just because your not 'supposed' to, then the whole religion thing is playing a bigger part in your life than you may care to admit.

That god dam takeaway shouldn't be allowed to serve meat on Good Friday.

Exactly. I'm having lamb burgers because that's what I often have on Fridays. The revelling in eating meat on Good Friday always came across to me as some weird form of rebellion.

No, medium rare.

It's just meat. Nobody has puffed up in smoke yet.

Eat it if you want, don't if you don't want to.

Is kind of annoying when people are like 'I can't WAIT to eat my juicy steak HAHAHAHA' to be honest. I'm not religious and I do have an issue with some of the nonsense that Good Friday represents but I don't see any point in wasting my energy going on about what I'm eating.

I humbly submit that in many cases it is having exactly the same effect as on those who abstain.

brummytom

I'm such a rebel, I eat 12 steaks, a pack of sausages, and a toddler on Good Friday.

No, I abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. I'm not religious, or veggie. I just think it's nice to have a little tradition. It's a shame to see grown adults reveling in rebelling against the beliefs of their parents/the church. Eat meat, or don't. Who cares?

Mr. CooL ICE

I was too busy to make bacon for breakfast, so ate porridge instead. I made sure I had some meat for lunch, otherwise I could wake up tomorrow as pope.

I've always wondered this when did fish cease to be a meat?

Certain people think if they're gonna be treated like children and be told what they can and can't do on this day then they might as well act like children......

Dont forget no all meat is forbidden. Beaver is approved by the catholic church to eat on Good Friday.

Im young and I know tons of my friends that wont eat meat on good Friday. But they were far from catholic the other 364 days of the year.

lertsnim

They should make the sale of meat illegal on Good Friday. It's only for one day after all. This doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

I had beef today. Not because I am sticking up two fingers at the mythical man who lives in the sky. I had it because it was there to eat.

Have 2 nice Aldi striploin steaks out, getting to room temp.
Will have those bad boys at 12:01am.

Kablamo!

I normally would abstain alright but there's a cooked chicken in the fridge that won't keep until tomorrow. Waste is a bigger sin I think.
