What are somethings to eat on Friday's during Lent?
Catholics can eat anything they want on Fridays during Lent, so long as it is not flesh meat. Fish and seafood are allowed, thus many Catholics mark the season by seeking out and choosing to eat fish on Fridays as an observance of this rule during Lent. Eating fish is not required on Fridays during Lent, rather it is simply a deep-seated tradition in Catholic culture. There are some esoteric rules as to what kinds of meats are allowed and what are not, but those are trivial to the intent of rule, which is to promote a spirit of penitential discipline. For example, there are references around the internet which tell the story of how capybara, a bizarre mammal often dwelling near water, became recongized as an acceptable choice under the rules of Friday abstenence. It is a penetential discipline of the Roman Catholic Church to abstain from meat during Lent. Abstinence is a different, although related practice, from fasting. Fasting is the practice of limiting or foregoing all food and drink. Abstinence is simply the elimination of one or more classes of food-- meat or chocolate, for instance. Catholics between the ages of 18 and 60 are expected to fast (one full meatless meal, with no more than two supplements not equalling that first meal) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics 14 and over are expected to observe abstinence from meat on Ash Wednesdays and all the Fridays of Lent. These laws are mitigated for health reasons. To disregard these laws completely is considered seriously sinful (which is code for 'matter for mortal sin'). In addition to Lenten observances, Catholics are encouraged to maintain their own penitential practices throughout the rest of the year, which may include forms of fasting and abstinence. Don't forget grilled cheese. My family and I eat a lot of grilled cheese during Lent.
