Was funny to listen on Radio Rhema today about those who celebrate Shrove Tuesday being the day before Lent when some churches observe 40 days fasting (from some type of food or activity) before Easter begins.Upon reading about the history of Shrove Tuesday, it was a day that foods would be eaten before the fast began and pancakes became the norm (in Europe) to use up the eggs, butter, flour etc. with whatever topping you wanted.
This wasn't the case for me growing up but I see some of my friends observing it especially those who are Anglicans and some Catholics who still keep the observances of their church traditions through the time of Lent and Easter.
My kids still enjoy pancakes for breakfast and very occasionally for a snack after dinner but this takes it definitely to another level...
