If you accidentally ate meat on a Friday, say an extra decade of the Holy Rosary and go to confession first chance you get. Sure, to forget really isn't a sin, but WHY did you forget? Forgetfulness can be a sign of sloth when pertaining to devotional activities.

What will I confess if it was not a sin?

If having accidentally eaten meat on Friday continues to bother you, simply mention it in your next Confession. What the priest says settles it. If this is your worst sin, I think you should begin signing St. in front of your name.

I have the brown scapular and was enrolled in it by a SSPX priest.
One of the conditions to get the indulgence was to abstain from meat on friday's, and usually I dont eat meat, but today, friday, I ate 2 sausage rolls. I totally forgot that I was supposed to avoid meat today, but because I forgot it seems from what people say that it is no sin.

I'm always so sleep deprived, I hardly ever know what day it is unless I have to go somewhere to do something specific. Still, it's tough to get my head around grace, mercy and understanding. It's still a very new concept to think of God as easily forgiving..it's just going to take some time I suppose.

Spiritual sloppiness. A form of mild presumption.
