Ravioli are another good one. Kind of like we stuff ourselves on pierogie cause 4 of them with their potato and cheese will fill you up on a fast day.
Fridays outside of Lent are not “meatless” days. Every one knows that. But Canon law still obliges everyone to make a sacrifice.
If you like fish and hate beef, then the “traditional” act is no sacrifice. I like meat, so outside of Easter season like to still abstain from meat.
I go to Bible study in the next diocese...you should have seen my jaw drop when Sr. Brigid tells us that you can only have ONE meal on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.....they tell us over here in my diocese two small meals and one larger meal.....man did I go hungry that day.
I have lost a little weight so far this Lent...thanks to Sister.
