Pancakes

Pancakes

Pancakes are a traditional British dessert, eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is known as Pancake Day. Shrove Tuesday is the last day before Lent, when Christians are supposed to remember Jesus fasting in the wilderness. People used to fast throughout Lent, avoiding certain foods. Pancakes were supposed to be a way of finishing up eggs which weren't eaten in Lent. This seems unlikely (since the egss wouldn't keep). It seems more likely that this was when the hens started laying again. By the way, other nationalities call these crepes.
