They had wine at the Last Supper so no reason to ban it on Good Friday. I don't think they had paella but none of the Gospels gives the menu, only mentioning bread.

SIL is preparing a paella for tonight's dinner. He (?) and his parents are adhering to the fish only on Good Friday rule which seems to be de riguer here in Oz whether you are a Believer, or not. The only shops open today are Bakers and Fish Merchants which are going like a fair. DD hates fish so is surreptitiously chucking in some illegal chicken bits and the kids are to have fish fingers [yuk emoticon]. I will be happy with anything so long as there is plenty of wine. I would have thought that would be banned too, but apparently not! wink
