Poll: Are you getting chipper tonight?

Will you be sticking to fish for Good Friday?

IT’S GOOD FRIDAY, a day when Catholics abstain from eating meat.

It’s one religious tradition that has survived in Ireland among a wider audience, including lapsed Catholics and people of other or no faith in Ireland.

Strictly speaking, the practice applies to more days than simply Good Friday – let’s not forget that the Catholic Church in Ireland banned eating meat on all Fridays until 1970 – but this is the one day that more people will take part.

And for many, that means a trip to the chipper for fish and chips.

So today we’re asking: Are you getting chipper tonight?


Poll Results:

No - just, no (6586)
No, but I'll still have fish for dinner (3261)
Yes (2570)
I wasn't going to but you're after putting the idea in my head (2058)
No, but I'm still abstaining from meat (1512)
