The actual question:
When I was a kiddie growing up, we always, but always, ate fish on Good Friday.
This is undoubtedly a relic of medieval times, when meat was expensive, and thus the Lenten "fasting" involved giving it up. It is probably moot nowadays, when fish is usually more expensive than "meat".
My brother made a point of eating a steak on Good Friday to mock said family tradition. And I was deeply shocked when, at uni, I went on a Christian camp (yes, I did), and they had a BBQ on Good Friday. Very confronting and all that.
So.. Good Fridays, whatcha eat?

My thoughts:
Once upon a time, I used to fast from sundown Easter Thursday to after church Easter Sunday. That solved all this. Now, being a vegetarian does. Not sure if lashings of butter on hot cross buns is GREAT though.
