Shrove Tuesday

CrazyLoop · 20-02-2012, 02:27

It's pancake day tomorrow!!! I love it.

What does everyone have on theirs?

I always usually have lemon & sugar.

yappy · 20-02-2012, 02:30

try golden syrup and strawberrys! its the best ever!!!!!

irishguy · 20-02-2012, 02:31

Maple syrup.... Celebrating the fact that I no longer have to walk around with a bit of charcoal smeared on my forehead the day after.... stupid religious tradition

InMyArms · 20-02-2012, 03:44

Is it?

The first time in about half a decade that I'll actually know it's pancake day

Lizzy11268 · 20-02-2012, 07:25

My husband always makes the pancakes because I can't seem to make ones that are not stodgy

BomoLad · 20-02-2012, 07:30

I haven't had pancakes in years. But I do love them. I've just never found the effort as an adult to make them.

Silent-love · 20-02-2012, 07:32

I make brilliant omeletes, never done pancakes, are they similar?

I don't know what to give up for lent yet. But I'll probably try hard to give up sweets. So I better have lots of lemon and sugar on my pancakes tommorrow.

I gave up desert last year, my son gave up chocolate and my OH gave up blaspheming

this year my boy is giving up fast food, my OH is undecided and I am giving up coke. (as in the drink...)

Guapa · 20-02-2012, 08:41

Nutella and banana.

ninjahandfriend · 20-02-2012, 08:43

I only like pancakes made out of tapioca.

noise747 · 20-02-2012, 08:45

Why wait for one day of the year to have pancakes? My mum used to make once a month at least.

Another religious thing we go through because it is tradition.

Having pancakes on pancake day and having pancakes on any other day are not mutually exclusive you know.

Unless you're sticking to the whole tradition, in which case you won't be having them duting Lent, any other non-fasting time is fair game though...

scorpio man · 20-02-2012, 09:23

Aldi have some ready made ones (8 microwaveable vacuum packed 99p) I had some last year and they were delish.

Looky HERE

Jason100 · 20-02-2012, 09:33

Didn't know when pancake day was until i googled it. How come it's not on the calendars anymore?

Anne Droyd · 20-02-2012, 09:37

lemon and sugar, nutella

I like to mix it up and go rad

Fair enough! I've heard of Ash Weds but never putting ashes on your forehead. I know a few Catholics and none of them do this to my knowledge.

I do it - the ashes are from burning Palms from Palm Sunday

Neda_Turk · 20-02-2012, 10:09

I celebrate Pancake Day not Shrove Tuesday as that is a religious nonsense thing.

Always lemon & sugar in large amounts.
