Why is it called good Friday, if you can't eat meat? (28)
Hmmmm sounds rather fishy to me 
good excuse to eat seafood! 
Give up chocolate??? 
I wouldn't 
I hate fish or any seafood so I am kinda stuck. I am not religious AT ALL but I still can't bring myself to eat red meat on GF.
Might try it this year. I might go to Maccas and have a crack at a big mac. Surely that's not 'really' red meat is it?

In the Navy in the 60s, we had no choice, on fridays, fish was the only choice.
i'll be eating some lamb chops OR take-away...Friday will be no different to any other day... 
Hey, if someone wants, to feed me meat, fish, lentils, whatever, I'll eat whatever they provide as long as they cook it.... !

Pass the worstechire, my steaks getting cold ....
I am not religious either but I still don't eat red meat on Good Friday. My son also hates fish so he has chicken. My other son eats fish with me. I am looking forward to my salmon this year.
To me good friday is just another day... meat or fish either will do.

I remember camping one year and on our way home (on Good Friday) we stopped at a servo and bought dim sims for lunch. I'd taken 3 bites and then realised what day it was. Stopped eating it straight away.
you offering to cook it Elite?

It has nothing to do with what Jesus did, or did not, eat at the Last Supper.
It is on Fridays because of the belief that Jesus was executed on a Friday. However, in earlier times, meat was forbidden all through Lent, not just on Fridays.
It is a sacrifice Catholics are required to make to honor Jesus' sacrifice of his life.
It was mandatory for Roman Catholics every Friday all year until the Vatican II conference led to many changes in Catholic rules; NOW it is only mandatory on Fridays during Lent.
Lent is the roughly 40-day preceding Easter (actually 43.5). It is a time when Catholics are supposed to consider the sacrifice Jesus made for humanity's sins, consider their own sins, and make some sacrifice of their own.
The sacrifice Catholics make can be something like cigarettes or food or video gaming; or a favorite toy or habit; or something like watching a particular television program. It is supposed to be something that they enjoy and will really miss, that will remind them of how hard it was for Jesus to give up his life if they are having a hard time giving up chocolate.
Maybe I'll just give up the chocolate....
Have a great easter everyone

My mum is orthodox christian and she fasted during the lent. I admire her persistence. It was hard to make her lunch or dinner. I usually eat lots of protein rich food so we never ate together. Now it is over. We will eat fish tomorrow: salmon with pumpkin and sweet potatoe salad. We also dye cooked eggs: her tradition.

... I loved that response 
... yeppers, 'twill be whatever I want/need to eat today (Friday) and it probably will be steak ... anyhow, He didn't make the 'rule', it's man made ... whatever happened to the very simple "message" of be a decent, respectful and kind person ... ah yes, human(un)kind complicated it with interpretations, assumptions etc ... that is so sad
... bugga, I think I went a bit off topic ... sorry Being the good sinner that I am, I will continue to have and do whatever I want, perhaps a good steak on the bbq could be on the cards, washed down with lots of beer!
So why the fish? All of the disciples were fishermen + this is the AGE of Pisces which is represent by a fish in the zodiac
So how do they decide the date of Easter? Good Friday is decided on the fist full moon in April each year, or the first Friday after the full moon,
