You don’t have to fast during Lent. Fridays in the United States you can’t eat meat during Lent but the only fast days are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. I think if you choose the fast that is fine and I support that. I think if it’s already Saturday morning when you ate meat then you’re probably fine
REALLY!?
No. Latin Rite Catholics are not required to fast all of Lent. In the United States, the only required days of fasting are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat. In other countries, the guidelines vary, and there are broad exemptions due to age, state of life, or medical conditions.REALLY!?
I was under the impression that it is mandatory for all Catholics to observe the Lenten Fast at least until Easter. Boy am I confused!:hypno:
The Church once did enforce fasting throughout Lent, but fortunately for you, the current rules do not require it.REALLY!?

How have you eaten it? I only ask because my mother always sliced it, breaded and fried it and it was pretty good. I only recently found out that many people have never had it that way. I had thought my mother’s way was the norm.
It’s been so long I don’t remember, but now I can’t get past the smell. Just one of those things.How have you eaten it?

Me thinks the question has been answered.
You can’t eat meat during Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent. Other times, you can eat meat.
I wonder the same about those little cans of devilled meats & those tiny hot dogs. They’re pretty much the same thing. Did you know how Spam got it’s name? They had a contest & the winner was Spam - SPiced hAM.But i ask can Spam really be qualified as meat?
Correct.
Beat you on posting that link by two hours and change.
Now I wonder where I got the story about the contest - I read it many years ago. Urban legends were pretty common back then, too! When humans don’t know the answer to something, we just make up our own alternative facts.
