Catholics: Are we allowed to eat dishes that contain meat today if we eat around or pick off the meat?

We are to not eat meat on Fridays during Lent so if you are not the one preparing the food then yes eat around or pick off the meat. but if you are the one making the meal make it meatless or you can eat fish or sea food. Even the Apostle took a lenten fast see Acts 13:2, 14:23, Matthew 6:16,Mark 2:20,9:29 to help you with Bible references as to lenten observances.
