Good Friday - Did ya eat meat?

stripysocks85

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?

Giblet

Why wouldn't I? I don't check my bed for monsters either.

galwayrush

Why?, is it going to be taxable...?

WindSock

I did but I'm whackey like that. Lol!!!!!!
Soooo bold lyk.

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

amacachi

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

Littlehorny

Does a muffburger count?

[Rasta]

2x beef burgers with spuds and vag.

LETHAL LADY

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

KKkitty

I was going to eat meat but the steaks were too high

I had fish n chips, like I do every friday, because I am going to heaven.

I did have a ham sambo but ham is not meat, I don't bloody know what they put in those ham slices packs, soylent green I think.

galwayrush

Not yet, but i had 2 steaks on Ash Wednesday, does that count?

That's so dumb but it made me laugh. Just the innocence of it, love it.

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

Bliss.

Ya know what they say - only a hungry man talks about "food".;)

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.

My name is URL

I actually had fish today, but for all the right reasons :pac:

Johnny Bitte

Just had a chicken kebab with chips, yummy!

starviewadams

Had a beef burrito in Bojum earlier on,oh and a chicken roll for lunch too!

I don't believe in a god/religion though so no big deal,mate of mine in work who went with me had to lie to his religious gf about it though!

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?

If you were interested in the answer, would you not have read the threads first?

As a conscious decision or just didn't happen to eat meat today??

I'm just wondering why a non practicing Catholic would bother abstaining on Good Friday - my sister's comment was 'Oh you think you could manage one day [okay 2] in the year where you just don't eat meat', but, why bother?

Declan Lander

Strange thread and responses.
Why on earth would non Catholics, or ex Catholics be bothered about eating meat today ?
The no meat rule is for Catholics only.
I don't sweat it about pork either, but then again I'm not Jewish or Muslim.

That's me!! No mass since Christmas but off choc and texting while driving for lent, ate fish today and say prayers sometimes when I feel I need to.

frozenfrozen

i had halal fish to make sure everyone was happy

the groutch

had 3 of the big 4 meats already today (beef, pork & chicken, the 4th being lamb), might head down the chippers now for a kebab, complete the grand slam.

wonderfulname

I wasn't going to, but then I remembered the day that was in it and dug out a nice lump of ham, just so I could annoy those "fasting".

Why would it annoy them ?
It only applies to current Catholics.

stripysocks85

Yeah, and I'm interested to see the Catholics responses......

Chuck Stone

I got naked, drenched myself in pigs blood, and ran up and down the street with scarf made out of strips of raw steak screaming 'I AIN'T GOT NO BEEF WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH - I JUST WANNA EAT MEAT'.








Fish and mashed potatoes. Yummers (I love fish).

Mickeroo

I'm vegan but today since I'm also a militant atheist I chased down a wild deer, strangled it with my bare hands and ate its heart as its life blood trickled away into the earth.

keano_afc

Yes, I had a Big Al's quarter pounder. Was delicious.

For the record, I'm a Christian. I know, I don't belong in after hours coz I have a belief that a lot here don't share. There is no reason, biblical or otherwise, to forsake tasty meat today.
