It's pancake day on Tuesday
What's the best filling?
For me it's got to be classic lemon and sugar, or melted chocolate.
Cinammon is good too.
Anyone giving up something for Lent? I'm not religious but I'm trying to give up chocolate. It's going to be hard.

:hyper:
And what am I giving up for lent.....errr, I don't know =|
I bet I don't get any pancakes this year, my boyfriend normally makes me them but I'm not seeing him on Tuesday...
As for giving something up, it might be buying things from the vending machine at work....
I might give up chocolate for Lent this year :chin:
My accoustomed version of pancakes are nasty though. But your pancake crepe like things are delicious. And all you need is sugar :thumb:
Aww celebrate it with us then, eat pancakes for tea til you feel sick.... thats the be all and end all of it really
Oh and mix Namasta and Lea's idea together and put ice cream and chocolate syurp on it. Oh that could be so good.
I think that's been around for years?
Tea is the evening meal Try a bit of everything on them, especially with it being next week, the recipes should be all over the internet, they're so much fun to cook

Pancake day is actually Shrove Tuesday
Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it's the last day before Lent.
The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess their sins so that they were forgiven before the season of Lent began.
Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that "aren't allowed" in Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.
And yes, instant mix is for spastics, how hard is it to mix flour eggs and milk?
Yeah but that is in the past. Now pancakes are just eaten because they are damn yummy!
I have never once wondered why we have pancake day, I don't really care I just eat the pancakes and enjoy it.
I think we should have more food days like urm. Chilli day where you feel like you HAVE to eat chilli. Or Hotpot day where you HAVE to eat hotpot! God I'm a spaz and a half me! :razz:
