Shrove Tuesday
 

i dont know if everyone knows but its PANCAKE DAY tomorrow YAYYYYY

the reason for this thread is......why isnt it advertised on the telly anymore? for at least a week before the date we used to get adverts on the telly for 'dont forget the Jif lemon day'

is it politically correct now NOT to advertise such a religious occasion? (when it comes down to it, thats what it originally was)

if i hadnt looked in my diary i wouldnt have known at all....why is this?

this country has gone mad and it REALLY annoys me

Re: Shrove Tuesday

Re: Shrove Tuesday

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

That made me chuckle.

Gayle bought some batter mix at the weekend so I can make Pancakes for her and the Kids.

Whats your fave topping for em: Chocolate, toffee, maple, jam, lemot etc?

Mine has to be toffee, kids will only eat them if they have Nitella on them though.

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

I like mine best with just sugar, lemon juice and strawberry jam.

The Paul O'Grady had a feature, to remind everyone it was Pancake Day tomorrow.

Monday's Blue Peter always made a big thing about Shrove Tuesday, though I don't know if they still do, as I haven't been able to watch it sice the vandals destroyed the Blue Peter garden, and disturbed poor Petra's ashes.

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

My fav topping is a bit of butter, lemon and sugar mmmmmmmmmm

Am thinking about making some tomorrow now :rolleyes:

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

We've had some tonight, my little girl didn't want to wait till tomorrow, anyway I had toffee sauce on mine!

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

Could just eat some with lots of lemon juice and a bit of sugar.

They're also very nice with chocolate sauce drizzled on them.

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

I knew that tomorrow was Shrove Tuesday. :p:)

We will be having pancakes tomorrow.

I like mine drizzled with a little bit of syrup.

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

We will be making are own batter no shop bought junk and will have orange and sugar on them.

Re: Shrove Tuesday

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

Reece thought he was being clever this morning, i got up as usual at 6.45am,woke him up at 7, asked him what he wanted for his breakfast...........and he said....PANCAKES, we argued for about 5 minutes and in the end he settled for cheerios :D mum knows best :D:D:D

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

The 1st thing that came out of Rhys's mouth this morning was

Mum it's Pancake Day!!!

Bless em... am so glad I'm not working tonight... otherwise wouldn't have much chance to let them make pancakes

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

now i'm the other way around Chelle, i would rather BE working than making pancakes ;)

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

I love working... but when ya seem to miss out on all the special days it can be a pain lol
Especially when the kids are really looking forward to it and ya aint got time,
cos I gotta get em home then get ready for work

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

When I was a hard up newly wed in the early 60s I had a pancake day every Wednesday, because all there was left to eat was eggs, flour, and milk:(

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

I won't ask what you had on Ash Wednesday:D:D

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

Seeing this thread I thought I'd get in the spirit and have a go at pancakes, nipped down to Tesco and got some pancake batter mix (very cheap).
the thing is that the instructions on the pack seem strange :

in a jug beat together 1 egg and 200ml of cold water.
add sachet contents and whisk until smooth.
heat a little oil in 12 small tins.
add batter and cook in a pre-heated oven at 200*C gas mark 6 for 20-30 mins.

not sure but just dosen't seems right :confused:

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

Thats Yorkshire puds - same batter - just fry it instead

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

oh Mancie, you just made my day mate, i cant stop laughing now :D even the bird is wondering what i'm giggling at

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

Mmmmmm Lemot.... Its where you get your lemon and heat it up = Lemon Hot....

Either that or its a typo..

Re: Shrove Tuesday
 

lemot..... the stuff you have left in the bottom of your martini glass:D

Re: Shrove Tuesday
