Those that suit me!<br />My husband doesn't fast every year and neither do my kids but all of us try not to eat meat for the 40 days and the last week, who have is Holy Week they do actually fast.<br />It's not such a big thing for the younger generation.<br />If you can stop eating meat then do that for the duration. Eat eggs and dairy except for Wednesday's and Fridays. We get Lenten cheese and all sorts of substitutes in the supermarket these days if you want them.<br />Don't worry too much. You should see the never of people here that eat souvlaki on good Friday !! Now that's a big no no.<br />Don't forget that shrimps and kalamari are always on theenu.<br />Our diet here is often meatless anyway. We eat loads of lentils, beans, chickpeas, and vegetable dishes which are meatless all through the year so it's not so hard to keep on doing that IF you want to. The western diet is a little different.<br />Good luck!!!local alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586011850451326646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-88804755433227454462019-02-24T04:13:28.995-08:002019-02-24T04:13:28.995-08:00You all know how to party.
