This is the part that makes everyone smile. Dairy is totally fine. Eggs, butter, milk, cheese? Go nuts. You can eat a mountain of mac and cheese, a cheese omelet the size of your face, or a pizza—hold the pepperoni. That’s right: a cheese pizza is a Good Friday classic. Add mushrooms, onions, olives, and you’ve essentially created a vegetable garden on dough. It’s practically a salad.
Why is it called Good Friday and why do we eat hot cross buns and fish
But here’s the kicker: You can also eat eggs Benedict—with salmon instead of ham. It’s called “Eggs Royale” and it tastes like a fancy hotel brunch, which is basically God’s way of saying, “I got you, buddy.”
The Vegetarian’s Secret Weapon: Beans and Lentils
Don’t like fish? Congratulations, you are now a honorary Lenten prepper. Beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and seitan are your new best friends. Black bean burgers are a thing. Lentil soup is basically a hug in a bowl. And if you load up a baked potato with cheese, sour cream, and broccoli, you’ll forget you ever wanted a steak. Your taste buds might actually applaud your creativity.
But listen: Do not try to argue that a chicken nugget is “basically a breaded bean.” The Church has heard that one before. It doesn’t work. Trust me.
