We are having Thai Green Fish Curry this evening for dinner.
We often eat fish on Fridays because it's quick to cook and a yummy "special" dinner for us.
I had thought of making a pork roast this evening but I decided to cook that last night.
I thought one of the reasons fish was eaten on Fridays (particularly in lent) was because it didn't keep well so was better eaten the day it was caught than kept over a fast day. other meats tend to keep better and could be eaten a few days after they were slaughtered.
On an interesting note I went out to dinner with good friends who are practising Jews. I decided (out of courtesy) not to have pork when I ordered my meal. I ended up watching them enjoy pork belly! hehehheehe. I asked about this and they said "we're on holidays!"
I personally like a simple fish meal on good Friday .......... seems like a normal way to eat just as a ridiculous feast is normal on Christmas eve!
