We didn't have a whole lot of money when I was a kid. Fridays during Lent we usually had "yellow dinner". Kraft mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, and canned corn. Dad would fry frozen breaded shrimp and french fries on one Friday for a treat. 

My family also poor, East European immigrants (Lithuanian).  We alternated between these throughout Lent:

Cheese and/or potato pierogis topped with sautéed onions and butter (homemade pierogis)

Potato pancakes with sour cream

Macaroni and cheese AND baked potatoes with sour cream (mac n cheese homemade)

Once in awhile....real fish sticks (from a real fish market) but not fries...some sort of fried potato ball (similar to tater tots but more like real food)
