Pancake Day 🥞
It’s Shrove Tuesday or, as the French say “Fat Tuesday”! I quite like that the French just say it as it is! It’s the day for using up all the fatty foods before the Lent period in the run up to Easter. They also refer to it as Mardi Gras, again meaning Fat Tuesday! ⚜️ 🇫🇷
Here in France it is traditionally celebrated on 2nd February when It is also called La Chandeleur🕯️. This falls 40 days after Christmas and apart from eating lots of pancakes stuffed with all manner of scrumptious fillings, it’s a day for fortune telling and legend!
Well whatever you call it and whichever date you celebrate, the big question is, what do you have with yours? 🍳 🍫 🍌 🍓 🍒 🧈
