What a chip van :conf:
A mobile chip shop that comes around every Friday night. Lovely fish and chips! Been coming around years, has a Dukes of Hazzard type horn so you know he's on your street :joker:
Goes other villages other nights but for us it's a Saturday. Can't wait for mine tomorrow night!

It's Friday, Friday
Gotta eat chips on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the fried cod, fried cod
Friday, Friday
Gettin' mushy peas on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the haddock
Fish and chips will be cheap again, like they used to be, when we leave the EU and get control of our fishing waters.

My mum never served meat on friday, only fish or vegetarian. Friday is a fast day for Catholics.
I don't follow the tradition except Good Friday and Christmas Eve. Somehow it doesn't feel right to have meat on those two days.

They will be eaten within the safety of a caravan no doubt, it's given rain, rain and more rain! :joker:

My mum was not religious in the slightest but always made us eat fish on fridays....not battered cod though, fish is a parsley sauce, I hated it :yuk: but we either ate what she gave us or go hungry :laugh: Still hate it now

Never heard of fasting on Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday were the traditional meat free days for Irish Catholic’s

Looks like it's not obligatory since the second vatican council. But in Poland and Italy it is still done.

oh thats interesting, never heard of it at all, I'm not religious either but some traditions I like to follow
With regard to Ireland, people are moving away from the Church but it seems to me they still want their babies baptised, their kids to take Holy Communion and Confirmation, and have weddings in church so even though they might not be religious they are still following some traditions

In Poland Christmas Eve is a big thing. You eat sparsely during the day, but then in the evening, once the first star appears, you have Christmas Eve supper. Traditionally 12 dishes :laugh: although that's only aspiration not a must. All vegetarian: fish few ways, two or three soups, savouries and sweet dishes. And booze. Then midnight mass. After midnight you can eat meat and I'd always visit the fridge after mass and have a cut of ham or a dried sausage :hee:

We have meat on a Friday at home but this reminded me because I went to Catholic schools, they didn’t serve meat on a Friday either :joker:
I won’t have meat Good Friday or Ash Wednesday tho.

Yeah we do, Christmas is a nice family time, its evolved into something other than religious I think for alot if people. Traditions can be nice [emoji173] the not eating meat on Fridays is just an odd one I think ( well actually I don't eat meat on Fridays as I'm vegetarian now [emoji23] )

It could be a useful way of using tradition to limit meat intake which is meant to be the way forward.
Doesnt have to he fridays of course :laugh:

I thought "no meat on Fridays" was a Good Friday tradition, not Friday in general.

It changed from the latter to the former over time. Now it's just good friday

There's a funny bit in Father Ted about that actually, Fr Dougal asking a Bishop, how come it was bad to eat meat on Fridays before but it's OK now, did the other lads go to hell or what? :laugh:

Love traditions like that, the Spanish celebrate on Christmas Eve as well. Don't Polish people leave their tree up until February as well?

They do. But the downside is it gets put up late, sometimes as late as Christmas Eve. Stays up until Candlemas, 2nd of Feb.
Also the idea of Carnival starting after Christmas until Ash Wednesday is still present. You meant to have lots of parties and general merrymaking.
...I’m enjoying reading about your Polish Christmas traditions, TwoSugars...:love:...do you have family still in Poland..?...
...’...Typically, people watch for the first star to appear in the night sky before sitting down to eat. The breaking of symbolic wafers precedes the meal and everyone shares pieces of the broken wafers.’....an incredible feeling of family togetherness...:lovedup:..

When we were young decorations wouldn't go up until the day before Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve itself, I like that they put the decs up in the UK a few weeks before, what I don't like is that as soon as boxing day is over some shops start taking them down, if feels like they are rushing you onto the next shopping event :fist:

Those decorations are not there to celebrate the season of good will but to tug on your purse strings.
All money driven. People bought presents so shops move on to the next thing.
