Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake day, is celebrated every year in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The festival is linked to Easter, and marks the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. We´re not sure why, but for some reason we eat as many pancakes as we can. In James´ house they have a competition to see who can eat the most! Usually the winner is James! Another fun activity is flipping the pancakes when cooking. In Brendon´s house this usually results in pancakes on the ceiling!
As the day is devoted to pancakes, many weird and wonderful new fillings have been tried. Have a look at this website link to see some of the different fillings:

But traditionally the most popular are lemon juice, maple syrup and jam. What do you like in your pancakes? Do you have any strange ideas of what you would like to try?
