Oh, come on, Catholics who observe lent in [my part of] America almost exclusively eat fish on Fridays during lent, not lentils or anything vegetarian.
I grew up in a Catholic family and vegetarian dishes are actively shunned, the absolute only socially acceptable lent option for dinner is fish.
- jwineinger 5y agoWhy is fish not considered meat? I'm genuinely curious
- astura 5y agoIt absolutely is meat. Catholic rules say it's the only meat that one can consume on Fridays during lent. Why? Cause that's the rules. Religious rules are usually fairly arbitrary.
