The marketing department at work put out an email about celebrating pancake day. Not for me or the lads who work for me. Why do we get subjected to this stuff? And yes I realise someone will probably come along and tell me it’s not American

It's tomorrow on Tuesday 13th Feb. The Swedish dictionary says it comes from England and US. We have the counterpart tomorrow with our Swedish Semledagen - FAT Tuesday.
I think it's the same thing really, no matter what you eat or what the pastry is. The goal is to act like a bird or a bear and eat as much as possible to get by until Easter. Ridiculous in a way since we're not built like those animals.

I make mine from scratch...nice and fluffy and simply delicious. Most people are crap at making pancakes, so I kind of get where Badge is coming from. Pretty weak from the marketing dept. though.

Pancakes are absolutely rank.
Even more abhorrent is when Americans eat what that country claims to be bacon with them.
Fucking perverts.

Had to Google it but The name comes from the old word 'shriving', which means to listen to someone's sins and forgive them. In Anglo-Saxon England, Christians would go to church on Shrove Tuesday to confess their sins and clean their soul. In other words, they would be 'shriven'.

According to my retired vicar friend Pancake or Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday which is first day of Lent (40 days of fasting). So Pancake Tuesday was used as an excuse to eat up excess milk, eggs & flour instead of chucking it out.

I like Lawrieleslies Vicar was bought up to believe it was the last day before the start of Lent and last chance to gorge up before 40 days and nights of fasting.
