National Tartar Sauce Day - Friday After Lent Begins.

I had gluten free battered Haddock with homemade coleslaw with an apple cider vinegette and air fried yams and tartar sauce.

Yams and sweet potatoes are not the same thing. Sweet potatoes look slightly furry on the outside.

never cared for tartar sauce. Local take-out restaurant here sells beef & sea-type meals. Came home with what I thought was a bowl of chowder, but they gave me the wrong thing; a huge bowl of tartar sauce. I called them and they laughed and said, we wondered what happened to that :)
 
Lucky that we get to eat fish during Lent. In the old, old, old days you couldn't have fish or any dairy products at all. Bread and vegetables, that's it. Giving up sweets wasn't mandatory, but strongly encouraged. Alcohol was supposed to be out, too.

That's when pretzels came to be popular. They were a Lenten treat, salty and satisfying.

Later on, fish and dairy products were allowed during Lent. Now I think it's Lenten Fridays only when you're supposed to abstain from meat, right?

I remember in elementary school, we always had salmon patties and cream corn every freakin' Friday. And they were awful salmon patties, too. To this day, I can't choke down a salmon patty, but I do like salmon filets.
