Re: Pancakes!
I think it's a British tradition .. people gave up .. well, just about everything that was any fun for lent, and so the day before lent they'd have a big blow out and make pancakes, batter puddings in which they chucked - well, just about everything that they weren't going to be able to eat for the next 40 days.
It's the same recipe as Yorkshire Pudding, but it's fried in a pan and generally served with sweet stuff.
