Pancake Day also known as Shrove Tuesday
in Britain. Pancake day is the day before Ash Wednesday and the start
of Lent. 'Shrove' - as in Shrove Tuesday - stems from old English word
'shrive', meaning 'confess all sins'. It is called Pancake Day because
it is the day traditionally for eating pancakes as pancake recipes were a way to use up any stocks of milk, butter and eggs which were forbidden during the abstinence of Lent. Learn more...
