Well the priest at my Church says that if for some reason you must eat meat, you can give up something else, which sounds logical to me. The whole not eating meat is supposed to be a sort of sacrifice to remember or reflex about Jesus dying for us, so it's not like meat itself is wrong. In the same line of thought, there are people who don't eat meat but feast on salmon and shrimps on lent Fridays, what good is that? Me and my girlfriend's anniversary was on a Friday this year and I really wanted to take her to a place that has the beast meat in town, so we decided that we would eat that, and gave up Coke for a week, which was actually a lot harder than not eating meat for one day.
EDIT: I found this recipe in the Wikipedia article for it, I really really have no idea how fanesca is made since I just eat the one my aunt makes and prefer not to even enter the kitchen while she makes it, so this is as good as any other recipe I could find I guess.
Well that's ok if you're not Catholic/Christian.. AND WANT TO BURN IN HELL.
I also ate meat every Friday during Lent! And I didn't give anything up!
I think there were too many years where I'd give something up, and then I would forget about it from not going to church and generally not thinking about religion very often anyway. Yeah sure I'm a bad person for not even trying for the past two years, but eh. I've already thought about that a lot.
Sweetie and I made our own Easter Dinner for two. We did a home-rotisserie chicken, green beans, brussel sprouts, stuffing and gravy. I chased it, after sweetie slept for an hour or two in a satiated nap on the couch, with chocolate souffle and frozen raspberries.
There's no photos because we ate it all (and how.)
College apartments is so damn awesome! I hosted parties every weekedn in my kick-ass apartment with awesome home-made(apartment-made?) food-stuffs and store-bought booze. And i had sushi-making parties and game-night parties and such. Apartments trock so damn much.

Well I liked the cheese spread. Tasted kinda like Handi-Snacks. The bread was way too dry though.

Maybe next year in my APARTMENT (holy crap I'm so looking forward to that) I'll take pictures of food experiments I can have.
