Happy Shrove Tuesday, or as it’s more commonly known in the UK ‘Pancake Day’. Shrove Tuesday is the day before the church season of Lent starts.
When I was growing up, there was a great kids TV show called ‘Maid Marian and her Merry Men’ (rather like a kids version of ‘Blackadder’). In one of the shows was a great song called “It’s Pancake Day”, so to celebrate the day, here’s the song!

Now don’t have too many pancakes and make yourself sick! (My topping of choice is the classic lemon juice and sugar – here’s a proper ‘English’ recipe from the great Delia Smith.)
