Shrove Tuesday
This year Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day is on Tuesday 1st March.
Shrove Tuesday is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, which is celebrated by eating pancakes!
Pancake Day comes from the old English custom of using up all the fattening ingredients in the house before Lent. In those days these ingredients consisted mainly of eggs and milk, combined with flour made a tasty treat!
