Anyone know why it's called pancake day?
newfette @ Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:14 am
its called pancake day because the season of lent is the 40 days (not including sundays) of prayer and self denial before easter. Back in the day most families used to fast during this time so the day before lent, shrove tuesday, they would use up all the fat and eggs and things that would spoil during lent if not used and thats where pancake day came from

$1:
In the Canadian province of Newfoundland, household objects are baked into the pancakes and served to family members. Rings, thimbles, thread, coins, and other objects all have meanings associated with them. The lucky one to find coins in their pancake will be rich, the finder of the ring will be the first married, and the finder of the thimble will be a seamstress or tailor. Children have great fun with the tradition, and often eat more than their fill of pancakes in search of a desired object.
