I never had fish ,, only a ham and cheese toasted sandwich.. I can`t eat fish because of the mercury in them and also
the reaction that they do to my high iron content so meat and fish are out .. so because I am the cook only eat what
I want lol.. my hubby had a tin of herrings in tomato sauce so we did right but not because of just not eating meat..
most families I know always ate fish n chips Friday nights as after a busy week of working etc it was the only take away
cheap enough when we were kids , didn`t know of any other take away but fish n chips n mushy peas .. thats an English Tradition. not necessarily a Catholic one I don`t think.. someone once told me that the vatican fish markets were not doing so well so they made everyone just eat fish on a Friday to boost up the vatican funds because they are all about fish..thats probably a myth !

I'm talking post Vatican II also.
I think you might be thinking about the practice of giving something up for Lent.
That is/was a purely personal decision.


Not according to the nuns and their 3 foot rulers in my clsses.

A sav is a saveloy and a battered sav is a deep fried saveloy coated in batter.
Also known as a Pluto Pup it is a heart attack on a stick and should be eaten by no-one, ever.

I don't like saveloys battered or not but how about a deep fried mars bar.:cool1:

Never in a million years, Bea. :eek1:
I find a Mars bar too rich even before frying, and I can eat most anything.
