The Best Guide to Pancakes This Pancake Day

Traditionally, Pancake day falls 4 days before Lent, on what is called Shrovetide or better known as Shrove Tuesday. It has been considered by many as a bit of an odd tradition, based upon the fact that during Lent, people would not only give up eating meat and rich foods but in addition to this thing that made them feel joy. This would consist of things such as cakes and pancakes which were prohibited from being eaten and people could not dance or play football.Dating back to the 1440s there is a spoken legend that women of the village would cook pancakes and get them to the church as quickly as possible when the bell was about to ring, proceeding behind a woman in the process of cooking and running to the church with a pan in her hand.  In more contemporary society, it is not such a big or strict thing anymore. People don’t give up as much but may consider cutting things out such as chocolate during the Lent period.So what will you be giving up this Pancake Day? be it chocolate or even meat?
