Do you eat meat On Good Friday?

When I was younger it was always a chippy with fish & chips. Pretty much followed that on through my adult life - more out of tradition than for religious reasons.

I remember we'd go round my nans (mainly to pick any Easter eggs she'd bought me) and she'd always have got in a pint of cockles from Fred the fishmonger but I don't remember if we had any meat or not. :confused:

I do, for religious reasons - in fact it's ALL meat and any goodies of any sort really (well any that I haven't already given up for Lent).

Your missing the option where good friday is a nice day off and I'll just eat what I fancy without thinking about it.

If that's the case shouldn't they change the name to "Really Shitty Friday" ?:)

Are you meant to leave nibbles out for the Easter Bunny or is that only for Father Christmas?

I do like a nice easter egg. I remember when they came with a free mug which was great; I had a nice whispa mug for years. Although I bet if you could get them now they'd only last 5 minutes because they don't make things like they used to.

Any Friday used to be fish when I was growing up. Since moving to Canada I have found we have lost all traditions, for us its just a long weekend to get some diy done. DD and DH do have an chocolate egg to eat each, not even doing a special meal this year.

This reminds me to pop into our local bakery to pick up some hot cross buns which gives a me chance to tell that funny joke about hot cross bunnies to the pretty girl behind the counter. :thumbup:
