First it was Mothers Day replacing Mothering Sunday. Now it would seem
that Pancake Day has replaced Shrove Tuesday.

Shrove Tuesday and Pancake day have been one and the same for as long as
I can remember and that is a good 40 years. Maybe it's a New England thing?

I know Shrove Tuesday but I never heard it called Pancake Day in New York so
I suppose you're right and it's a regional thing.

Guess it depends what you eat on that day. We didn't eat pancakes. My
grandmother made something akin to beignets. Since leaving home, it was
mostly easier for me to find a donut shop near the office than pancakes.
The entire point being, to use up all the leftover fat in the house by
frying up a "whole mess of something", be that pancakes, donuts,
fish&chips....

Not really, Bruce! In my earlier RFC post I mentioned that my children still
call pancakes "shroves"!


(And Gillian: bacon will do instead of sausage. The operative words are "pig
meat"!

Delighted to hear that at least one family is aware of "shrove" or
"shrive". I'll not confuse the issue by asking whether Sundays are "in
Lent" or "of Lent" vbg nor diverging (thread drift is already into the
higher warp drive numbers) and asking whether anyone has a runcible
spoon vvbg
