Cuz the first two Fridays (one was St Pat's, even if there was a dispensation in some dioceses, the other I don't remember) were the only two days that I had eaten meat (with Indian, except for ghee and paneer you're largely vegan) so when I realized, to make up for it I gave up meat entirely. Afterwards I made something with meat, and Lord it felt strange. This year, I dunno.</p> Last year was meat.

That’s about 10 years of Lent or 39,000 years in real time. I’ve been umm, Anglizied for 15, but for the life of me I can’t remember the other 5 years.
