Here are three 'meatless' recipes, from The Catholic Cook Book, William I. Kaufman, The Citadel Press, 1965.

Hopefully the recipes in the image are discernible.

Take spaghetti squash. Slice it in half.  Remove seeds.  Bake in oven for about 30 minutes.  Take the insides and shred it on plate and pour tomato sauce over it.  Then serve. 

Any meatless filling in crepes...seafood (think crab meat) cottage cheese etc.  yum.

Go to Burger King and get the Impossible Whopper.

If it's as indistinguishable from a hamburger as they claim, then it's probably against the spirit of the law.

Of course, it's mostly genetically-engineered soy, and the soy wreaks havoc on the hormonal system, mimicking estrogens, so I would not make a habit of it.

That might be something a Jєω would do.

Especially since Thanksgiving Friday looms, maybe you trads have some special meatless recipes to share.

Recipes?

Weyelll, I thought I recalled more topics in CathInfo's "Health and Nutrition" category that are focused on
seafood, thus being "meatless" for purposes of Catholic abstinence, but today (using Google under silent protest^[#]), I found scarce few of such postings, in particular:

Detailed info that's possibly prone to dismissal as out-of-season (climatically, not liturgically).

I opened it with a long list of seafood recipes that don't drown the featured ingredients in tomato sauce^[×].
It's true that I offered no recipes, but even the multigenerational land-locked "Middle America" authors of Joy of Cooking^[*] ought to have detailed recipes for several of the good ones.

Note #: Matthew has granted Google some privileged access to CathInfo that's not granted to privacy-oriented search-engines, notably Ixquick/StartPage and presumably DuckDuckGo.  But it's his prerogative.

Note ×: A pet peeve: Drowning ingredients having delicate--some say subtle--flavor in typically strong-flavored tomato sauce.

Note *: A reader might request such a book as a Christmas gift.  A frugal alternative, in areas with large-enough populations, is to buy cookbooks in serviceable condition for $1--$5 at some garage sales--or better yet, estate sales.  The regular cookbook scavengers will already have J.o.C.; they're looking out for the very locally focused (state or federal) Dept. of Agriculture, Junior League, or funkier cookbooks published on a shoe-string.

While meatless, it is made from chicken/beef broth...

I'd found, but forgot to include, this topic, which kept CathInfo members' interest thro' 67 replies spanning 5 pp.:
<https://www.cathinfo.com/health-and-nutrition/what-do-you-eat-on-fridays/>:
"What do you eat on Fridays?" (August 05, 2011--October 05, 2012).

In that highly relevant topic's mix of "meatless recipes", ranging from vague hand-waving to exact recipes, I encountered an earler posting of a recent recipe^[#], by an apparently long-disappeared member:
<https://www.cathinfo.com/health-and-nutrition/what-do-you-eat-on-fridays/msg205875/#msg205875>:

"Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do." John 14:13-14

Jesus, we beg you and, Father, we beg you in the Holy Name of Your Son, Jesus, that it is Your Will to drive Poche from this place forever. We offer our fasting, alms, suffering, good works, and happiness for this intention.
