Will You Be Eating Fish Today?

[naomi24]

Good Friday, for Christians traditionally the day when no meat is eaten. For my household fish is always on the menu on Good Friday - not because we're religious - simply because we're products of a Christian society and that's what we have always done. What about you?

You a veggie Rowan?

[rowanwitch]

No, I will eat most things, if something died for my dinner though I am mindful of that and appreciate it more. Thank you Mr pig, my bacon sandwich was lovely... Maybe not so flippant......

[woofgang]

never have done this because its good friday. I like fish and might have it today but not because its good friday.

Sausages tonight, but sweet pickled herrings some time today becsuse I am addicted to them.

I had a bean, tomato and cheese dip.
The pointless Christian tradition is irrelevant to me.

[Puzzled001]

Fresh fish, no! just can't afford it these days, stupid prices. Might open a tin of sardines as a treat !!!!

Brought up Catholic, and always ate fish on Friday's, but not religious at all now and will eat anything. Coincidentally, I will be having fish from the freezer tonight, along with the rest of the boulangere potatoes I made yesterday.

Nope

King prawns....just by chance. Nothing to do with Friday, Good or otherwise.

Arbitrarily proscribing what one can or cannot eat on whatever day is an exercise in obedience. The church wants everyone to practice doing what they are told.

We had fish on Wednesday, so will probably something else. Not sure what yet.

[MallyJ]

No...was brought up catholic so didn't eat meat on any Friday. No longer have a relgious belief (haven't for many years) so eat whatever I fancy on a any Friday....

[MallyJ]

I was told that eating fish on a Friday was a way of ensuring that the fishing industry did well....brought in to help the Italian fishing fleet donkeys years ago...

Are you having freshwater fish?

[Patsy33]

We always have fish n chips on a Friday, whatever.

Puzzled, I bought whole trout ridiculously cheaply from Tesco a few weeks ago, around £3.50 for 2 large ones. They were selling hake fillets for £1.50 each at the same time. It doesn't have to be expensive if you buy what's on special offer.

[woofgang]

Mally, eating fish on fridays (not just Good Friday) is a very old tradition indeed. many Convents and monasteries had "stewponds" where fish were raised for eating.

Im not a product of a Christian society, I'm a product of my own free thought.

TD - No you're not. The whole of Western European culture, exported to the rest of the world, is firmly rooted in Judeo Christian culture, and your whole worldview, atheist and believer alike, are influenced by it.

[Barmaid]

No. I've got a leg of lamb cooking sous vide.
