If my family makes chicken soup, may I eat it if I remove all visible pieces of chicken from it?
 
I suppose you could, but the soup still has chicken broth in it. I’m not sure if that counts as meat neccesairly. Personally, My mom makes homemade vegetable soup. I eat that on fridays. 😃
 
Fridays for us are fish my daughter or homemade macaroni and cheese. It might get old fast but, it saves me additional worry about forgetting that something was made with this or that. Ack! At least I believe dairy to be okay. Oh me another can of worms 😛

I think it means when they run out of fish and macaroni and cheese they will have to resort to eating their daughter. 😃

That is it EXACTLY! 😊

My mind runs faster than my fingers type I suppose. Then not taking the time to proof read before posting … not a good combination by any means.

Fridays, my daughter has fish. I, myself, do not care for fish. Or, it’s macaroni and cheese for the both of us. Maybe that makes more sense?
 
WAIT Did she just say that fridays are fish, her DAUGHTER :eek:, OR macoroni and cheese LOL

Yes, that is allowed.

Man, gotta mind your P’s and Q’s on forums. Or in my case, dropped words. 😃

My original post should have said:

“Fridays for us are fish for my daughter or homemade macaroni and cheese.” hehe and here I was only the tiniest bit concerned about cheese, and I’m talking about serving people. Goodness me.😊
 
Wow I was really worried 😦

Daughters count as meat!!! :tsktsk:
 
Soylent Green is people!

Which means you can’t has, Fridays during lent. 😛

There is a world of food you can has—peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti without meatballs, etc. I heard that chicken broth is okay, but I’d rather stick with other ‘substances.’

That was my main worry, too! 😉 Unless, of course, her daughter is a vegan. Maybe that would make a difference. 😉 But then, no, following that logic we would be allowed to eat cows on Friday. I’m getting way too silly, maybe I need a nap.
 
Aww obviously I hope no one was REALLY concerned. I’d feel worse then.

There’s only light peanut butter in the house. WHY??? hehe I am not a big fan of light peanut butter but maybe I should be. OH! I could get some veggie burgers. I haven’t had them in years and I don’t remember them being terribly bad. She might like them.
 
Chicken broth does not count as meat. Just pick out out the chicken, and plunk it in a family members bowl - waste not!

In the oooooold days of pre-Vatican II, you couldn’t eat meat or soups, sauces, or gravies made from meat. Also prohibited were animal fat products such as lard. Eggs, milk, cheese, and butter were OK. Not long ago, I read that they had relaxed some of these prohibitions because some cultures used things like lard extensively in their cooking, but I couldn’t find a reference.
 
Actually, some veggie burgers are surprisingly good. They need a lot of condiments and lettuce, etc. to carry them off, though. I like scrambled eggs and toast. I’m just saying, you know, while you’re cooking anyway…
 
Not wanting to throw a spanner in anyone’s works, but the Lenten newsletter put out by my diocese specifically asked us to refrain from chicken and beef broth on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and each Lenten Friday… 🤷

Grilled portobello mushroom make excellent “hamburgers”.

Lent also is a great time to explore Indian cooking since that cuisine has tons of veggie options. 😃
