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.

Not Irish Catholics thankfully we're moving past the catholic thing here in Ireland, slowly but surely

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

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 but we either ate what she gave us or go hungry 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 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

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

I won’t have meat Good Friday or Ash Wednesday tho.

Is a Christmas tree specifically catholic? I didn't think so. 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 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 )
