Pancake Day!


In the United Kingdom and Ireland,
Shrove Tuesday is more commonly known as
Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day.


Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. In many cultures, this means no meat, dairy, or eggs.


These pancakes look yummy! Would you like to celebrate Pancake Day?
