Neither Ruben nor I are practicantes. We discussed la cuaresma before eating the buñuelos on Friday. He told me that this type are traditionally eaten only on Wednesday and Thursday of this past week. The buñuelos de bacalao are eaten similarly the Wednesday and Thursday of semana santa as the practicantes are supposed to avoid meat those days. I plan to go to my favorite restaurant, El Rodizio (Brazilian-style barbeque), during those two days because their number of customers might drop. I say "might" because the reality is that are not that many practicantes these days.
