Although originally a religious date, the day is now synonymous with pancakes!
As it is traditionally the day before lent starts, this is the day that families have always used to feast. So where exactly did the pancake bit come from? Its said that this bit originated in 1445, in Buckinghamshire, UK. Its said that a woman lost track of time whilst making pancakes on this day, and upon hearing the church bells ring, she had no time, and quickly had to run to church carrying her pancake still in the pan...
Anywho.. what will you be having on your pancakes today? Nutella, banana, cream, strawberries, savoury? The possibilities are endless!
