Since this Friday is the Feast of the Annunciation, can we eat meat this Friday?
 
The Annunciation is a solemnity, not a feast. When a solemnity falls on a Friday of Lent, Catholics are not required to abstain from meat:
Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the episcopal conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (canon 1251, Code of Canon Law).
