Do you eat meat on good friday? if so why and if not why not? is it a relig

margomeoz — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 07:16:49 GMT

Religious thing?

Religion being what it is today I would not think anyone would bother fasting, could be wrong?

I eat whatever I feel like on Good Friday, have never ever eaten fish, fresh or sea.

I don't know about anyone else, but as far as I'm concerned Friday is the same as any other day as far as eating or not eating meat is concerned. There is nothing in the Bible to say otherwise. If anyone quotes the Old Testament of course, I'll say in advance that the Old Testament Laws were revoked by Jesus.

As an ex-catholic, I make a point of eating meat on Friday cause the whole thing is so silly.

No-one has ever been able to explain the point of not eating meat. If someone can enlighten me I would be much obliged.

Lakeland, you're going to need an awful lot of tetras to make a meal. Perhaps you could make neon tetra fritters? Like whitebait fritters (yum!).

I'm not religous at all, haven't thought ahead to dinner yet, but more than likely will be some sort of meat.

The truth is that only the poor used to eat fish and the rich ate meat many moons ago

Funny how things have changed, fish is more of a luxury now.

Margo, we are having prawns and fish - doing the stations of the cross and getting drunk probably 😄

We're having roast lamb or pea and ham soup ... haven't decided yet. But, we did have salmon coated with dukka earlier this week. That was awesome ...

Martini, as an ex Catholic myself we used to have to eat fish dinners every Friday at school. (pommie)

I don't know if it was because Jesus' disciples were fishermen.

I still eat fish on Good Friday, but it is purely for tradition and not because of religion. Usually prawns. Yum!

It is still big in England joono but the proddies do too.... so it isn't just a Catholic thing

The only day of the week we eat the same meal is Friday so tomorrow we will be having steak, egg and chips with lovely fresh bread Yummmmm.

I am Catholic but since I left home I have not eaten fish on Friday.

We do the traditional seafood dinner and its done just out of tradition.

Tomorrow we are having mussels in white wine sauce, a platter of prawns, seafood rice dish (like a paella but done my way) and salad.

I might eat fish tomorrow, but only if I'm lucky enough to catch it first tonight.

A nice big barra would go down a treat 😛

If not it might end end with snags in bread if I'm too lazy to do anything else 😞
