"No. When/where I grew up it was mostly considered a Catholic thing, and I was raised Protestant." It was originally a Catholic thing but I think it either got perpetuated once Protestantism became the predominant form of Christianity in GB or just became a tradition that was removed from its origins. | |||

"No. When/where I grew up it was mostly considered a Catholic thing, and I was raised Protestant." Yes, definitely a catholic thing, though we didn't do it. Fridays were often take-aways, but not necessarily fish. Good Friday was really the only Friday where my Mum made a point of us avoiding meat... | |||

"I used to eat fish every Friday. Then I went on holiday with my husband and nearly died eating fish, there is now no more eating fish on Fridays or ever 🤣" Not even on a Monday from the chippy? | |||

"I had chips next to the river tonight, but i didn't know it was a tradition "• The OP is referring to the tradition of fish and chips, Míddèrs. Not just chips on their own. 🧐 | |||

"When I was a kid we had fish on Friday because that was the day the fish van came round. Nothing to do with religion. Although … maybe religion was the long-forgotten reason it came round on Fridays. "The fish van owner must have been playing a lucky hunch about Fridays! | |||

"Do people still eat fish and chips on a Friday? You know because it's Friday... I mean it's coming from the Christian belief that you mustn't eat meat on Friday but knowing that Christianity is in decline or more so scarcity in the UK do you stick to that or any other ways that aren't socially necessary in 2024?" I'm sure some do. As a child we had fish n chips on Saturday as a weekly treat, it was boiled meat and veg rest of the week. Nita | |||

The original source of a tradition like like rarely has any bearing on why it’s fine. My Gran always had fish on a Friday, she never went to Church, she did it for the same reason she had corn beef hash on Thursday, people of that generation are brought up without the food choices we have & generally plan and organise food this way because there were far more important things in life to think about & occupy them. Unnecessary spontaneity in ways like is often just lack of thinking /planning and over time robs your brain power for far more important things. | |||

"I've read a lot of the bible, not all, but a lot when I went to bible study in my youth. Nowhere can I remember reading anything about eating meat in Fridays. I don't even remember there being days of the week." I can't specifically remember where it comes from, but I've read something about it somewhere in a Christian setting. My nan also used to be a regular church goer, would also say that fish on a Friday was something that was born out of not eating meat on Friday. I do not dispute what you're telling me. Christianity is quite sectarian so I think there's many bits you won't find out | |||

"Taken from Catholic.Org Let’s begin with the title. Just why do Catholics eat fish on Friday – or, better said, why do Catholics abstain from warm-blooded flesh meat on Friday? The obvious answer that every Catholic should know is that it is a penance imposed by the Church to commemorate the day of the Crucifixion of Our Lord – to enable us to make a small sacrifice for the incredible sacrifice He made for our salvation. Why, then, is fish allowed? The drawing of a symbolic fish in the dirt was a way that the early Christians knew each other when it was dangerous to admit in public that one was Christian. Our Lord cooked fish for His Apostles after His Resurrection, and most of these men were fishermen. After He established His Church, these fishermen became “fishers of men” for the Kingdom of God. There you have it. Utter bollox I know but some still think this nonsense is for real." I don't think it's utter bolox mate. I always argue that these old religions are the reason we have such understanding of sciences as they were the early philosophies that spread and widely allowed people to believe in something common. The main benefit of it is the community it built, possibly not always for good cause but mostly. I mean yes it's a couple of thousand year old story, an although it's likely untrue, but even still now, you can't and will never prove God doesn't exist | |||

"Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people" I must admit I'm not particularly bothered about "keeping up with tradition" per say, I'm quite an open minded person so no need to do something or keep anything that's of no benefit or joy. But I think an example like this where something has become habit, I think could be defined as traditional, and does feel nice to have as a comfort and/or routine | |||

It's quite subjective, you could find one individual say fab is awful and another say completely contrasting things, it's all perspective | |||
