One could sometimes get indulgences for dairy products.  I believe 
that there's a cathedral tower in France nicknamed the "Butter 
Tower" because its construction was financed by the sale of 
indulgences to eat butter during Lent.  Nola has a recipe for chard 
with cheese, and he notes that it is good for Lent, if you have an 
indulgence.

Eggs are another matter, AFAIK.
