Funny, I had the opposite experience. I moved into a predominantly Polish Catholic neighborhood in my middle school years. The first time I stepped up on a Lenten Friday and ordered the sausage pizza for lunch, all my friends looked at me as if I had horns growing out of my head.
“It’s Friday.”
“Yeah, so? It’s also pizza day, and I ain’t missing that for some stupid fish.”
“But… it’s Friday.”
“So what?!? What the ever-loving hell does Friday have to do with anything?!”
