It's going to be a GOOD friday - I'm Pickle Fish Rich

Hey My J's,

Che is on the back up
Drug free so put the crack up
No need for speed
I'm anti d-r-u-g-g-I-e my
Body is healthy
And rhymes makes me wealthy

Sorry I couldn't resist a little marky mark going into the long weekend.

So Easter weekend approaches and us catholic prepare for it the only way we know how, honouring that last supper vibes with fish of course, its a good friday so its all about them good vibrations.

A South African tradition

The serving of pickled fish on Good Friday is a uniquely South African tradition with a history that no one quite knows anything about, we just know that's what we do on a Good Friday.

One thing everyone agrees on is that this food tradition hails from the Western Cape. Beyond that, no one has a clue.

Rumour has it came about because fishing boats didn't used to go out over the Easter weekend making the pickling of fish a necessity in the days before fridges and freezers.

I say its because its liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

Half the fun starts in preparing all of it, like a dooms day prepper, lol! We're going into hiding ya'll!

Chop em	Fry em	Sauce em

One more for good measure

So to prepare for the 4 day long weekend we prepare an unreasonable amount of pickle fish which we all consume in combination with hot cross buns. Then on Easter its all about the chocolate baby, needless to say a lot of eating will be done in the next few days so hold on to your waist line boys and girls

Do you guys have any Easter weekend traditions? What are they and why do you carry them out?

Have your say

What are you all getting up to this long weekend? I'll be between a picklefish and a hot cross bun :P
