Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

Holy Thursday?
Holy Saturday?

I'm trying to meal plan for next week and I'm confused ...

Thanks

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

yes you can

the only meatless day next week is good friday

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

thank goodnes, I think DH would have killed me if I made him vegetarian for 3 days running

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

Yes, you can have meat on those days. The only day of the Triduum you abstain from meat is Good Friday.

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

Did you know I turned my VERY carnivorous FH into like 90% vegetarian? He even eats TVP now! It's incredible. And he says it amkes him feel yuck and sluggish when he eats meat.

I'm sorry..I know, total tangent, but when you said your DH would kill you over 3 days it reminded me..FH used to be like that..haha

Also, I realized I have NO idea when you can and can't eat meat b/c I never do.

interesting, interesting.

Another question for anyone out there .. what is a good price for Shrimp (jumbo) ... DH & I were debating the value/price of eating shrimp versus say chicken.
I have a coupon for a neighborhood butcher $18.99 for 2 lbs jumbo shrimp ... is that good?

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

if it's already cleaned, I'd say that's definitely good. If not, it's ok

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

I buy my shrimp in Costco. I buy the Colossel uncooked cleaned shrimp. It is a 2 1/2 lb bag and I think I pay $15 but I do not remember off hand.

Ya got me.

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

I usually eat meat on Holy Thursday and Saturday, but not on Friday. DH and his family fast all day on Friday and don't eat until they get their food blessed on Holy Saturday.

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

Maybe I should join Costco or something because there are so many ways to save on stuff like that

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

That is true

Re: Catholics - Can you eat meat on ...

When we were growing up it was just Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent.
