[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potatoes, eggs, cheese omelet on Italian sub rolls. No meat on Friday nights. Catholic thing. [/quote] Not a universally Catholic “thing” for this particular meal, but, yes, *six* Fridays a year and Ash Wednesday we Catholics are asked to “sacrifice” a rich or expensive meal containing ingredients such as meat. Different cultures around the world (because “catholic “ means “universal”) have different customs so this is just one example. [/quote] Before Vatican II, Catholics avoided meat on all Fridays, not just during Lent. As this is a thread where people are reminiscing about their childhood, presumably pp is recalling that they didn’t eat meat on any Friday at all. [/quote] That's why my elementary school always had tuna casserole on Fridays.[/quote]
