Who`s having pancakes?

 

How do you like to eat them?

I love them with Lemon Juice and sugar!

 

It`s a non religious festivity for me, it`s food,say no more.

 

What is Pancake Day?

 

Pancake Day ( also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent. It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes.

 

Why are Pancakes eaten on Shrove Tuesday?

 

Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.

 

When is Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day)?

 

Shrove Tuesday is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday and is therefore the final day before the commencement of Lent, a Christian festival leading up to Easter Sunday (Easter Day).

Lemon and Sugar for me.

 

Very nice Jez, who makes them in your household? :unsure:

Jez no doubt sneaks in the windows of unsuspecting neighbors, making off with their freshly cooked pancakes.

Ohh he's the infamous Pancaker taker.. :unsure:

What he said up there.

 

When I was in school ( 1st grade to 12th) I had pancakes every single morning. Call me weird... But I love them with tons of grape jelly on top.

 

Anyone else try them with grape jelly?
