Hi, Katerine here. Adamantius asked:

Every extant English menu I've seen does; I haven't studied menus from
elsewhere nearly so closely, but I don't recall any French menus that
included fish on meat days either. However, this is certainly something
that is likely to have varied by place and by time -- the latter
especially, as the number of days of abstinence in the calendar
declined. I would't want to make any claim about 16th century menus,
without careful study.
Cheers,
