And so, to the Carmelites, Jesus said - On Good Friday, You're not to eat any meat. In fact, you're not to eat any meat on fridays up until the late '70s. Fish special on fridays.
I don't know a single observant person who doesn't go and organise to have the very best of fish on Good Friday. It's as irish as panic-buying drink on holy thursday.
Which comes to today's topic - what to eat for lunch on Good Friday. The rules are: You're not allowed any meat, and you're only allowed 1 meal and 2 collations. (i'm not sure of the semantic difference between a meal and a collation - but i think a collation can't be a dinner.)
Lunch, therefore poses a problem. It has to be small enough to be a collation, and can't involve any meat.
This year, we had wraps with lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, scallions, mayo, cheese, tortilla chips and bbq sauce. (we haven't been to the shops for a while, and this is what we had in the fridge.)
What are your thoughts on observant food?
