Fish on Fridays. That's all I remember about being raised Catholic.

If one is a devout Catholic, one can give up meat for the entire forty days, though usually it is only on Fridays and Ash Wednesday.

You don't necessarily have to give something up for Lent, though it is not such a bad thing. My sister usually gives up chocolate or coffee. What one forgets is that one should also take on a job, something difficult, and see it through to the finish.

To get through it, my mother and sister develop a menu in advance, though when stuck they just go with salad or steamed veggies. You might try vegetarian soups and stews. I made root soup for them one weekend, and it was very popular.
