[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Abstaining from meat is universally catholic bc it is canon. [/quote]

Reread the first post. Catholic thing was referring to no meat on Friday nights.  No need mansplain Catholicism.[b] Also everyone eats egg sandwiches during Lent. [/b] This just sounds like a tortilla bocadillo

And now I want a tortilla bocadilo[/quote]

Who is this “everyone”? I’ve never had an egg sandwich in my life, let alone any specific menu during Lent since I don’t celebrate Lent. Are you even aware of other religions/ cultures?[/quote]

At my grandma's house it was often fried egg sandwiches on homemade buns on summer nights when we visited. I still make myself a fried egg sandwich on bread at least once every couple of weeks.

I just remembered--for breakfast sometimes my mom would boil eggs and we'd eat them mashed up in a bowl with milk, salt, and pepper. Egg cereal I guess? Also milk toast. Other times just cereal (the choices were invariably cornflakes, rice krispies, cheerios, or puffed wheat. I hated puffed wheat then but loved it when I reached adulthood, but it's very hard to find. Everything now is all sugar or fancy organic cereals). The only time we had the sugary cereal was on car trips when my mom would buy those packs of assorted single serving cereal to eat in the car, we'd argue over who got the Sugar Pops)[/quote]

You can buy bags of puffed wheat in regular stores like Giant and Safeway. They're in plastic bags, not boxes. Also health food stores. I love that too -- but not as much as "Super Sugar Smacks." Can't get away with a name like that now.[/quote]
