What are the official rules of Lent?
I know you give something up until Easter, but isn't there like a Friday clause or something? Or am I thinking of something else?

No.
Catholics in the United States are obliged to abstain from the eating of meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays during the season of Lent.
They are also obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday.
Self-imposed observance of fasting on all weekdays of Lent is strongly recommended. This is where people also give up chocolate, sarcasm, or something else for Lent.
With love in Christ.

Yes
The rule of meat came from USA Catholics who are more selfish than helpful. The fact is, there is no supporting scripture telling people they may not eat the food that God had provided. That would he heresy.
