Lent starts today, commencing a 40-day period of self denial for many observant Christians around the world. We checked in with our Twitter and Facebook fans yesterday to find out what food-related item they might give up. As to be expected, a number of people listed chocolate and alcohol, but our favorite answers were a bit more offbeat.
Jeff Fitzgerald: Giving up beer and food fads. So, for 40 days, no more Sam Adams and chipotle cassava pork belly broccoli rabe sandwiches with duck confit.
JoAnn LaGasse: I plan to give up buying tomatoes and grow them.
@PBJargon: red wine? espresso? feta cheese? the good christian girl would give up all three, but...i'm not that good
Victoria A Dziadkowicz-Torres: We are giving up pizza as a family...now it's just 'movie night'
@jeremy_viray: I'm going #vegan!
What about you? Are you giving up anything food-related? Tell us in the comments section.
