I remember going without red meat for Fridays during lent as a child....which meant fish and chips for dinner - I think the "going without" went missing on that one.
Now that I'm an atheist, I don't really go in for the religious observances.
As an aside, my (Anglican) wife served friends a lamb roast on Easter Friday (passover lamb??) - a few commented on the 'red meat on fridays' thing. I guess the point is that protestants don't necessarily 'do' Lent like the Catholics.
