I didn't think at all about the Fat Tuesday angle,
But I made waffles instead. For the first time since it was gifted to me, I fired up this Univeral waffle iron by Landers, Frary & Clark. It was actually found on a tree lawn of a very old home with a for sale sign on it. Apparently there was a lot fascinating stuff there on that tree lawn that wasn't gifted to me!

Wow, haven't thought of 'Pancake Day' in ages... My late mother, good transplanted Brit that she was would always make them on what she called 'shrove Tuesday'. Hers were always thin ones, like french crêpes, sprinkled with sugar and drizzled with lemon or orange juice and rolled up.
I must make a batch when I get back to Montreal...

For Catholics
Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday when Lent begins.
The Legend of the Pancake was the housewife was making pancakes with the last of her lard when the church bells began to ring signaling the beginning of Mass and the start of the Lenten season.
Not wanting to be late for Mass and not wanting to waste the last of her Lard, as well as the indulgence of sweet treats, she flipped the pancake in her pan on the way to Mass.
This is at least the legend that inspired the Pancake race between Liberal, Ks and Onley, England.
For non-Catholics and Catholics alike, Fat Tuesday is the last day of Mardi Gras or (Fat Tuesday) in French. And now begins the 40 day fast. In modern times we only fast and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent. Some older Catholics still observe by eating only one small meal a day, and abstaining from sweets, meat, etc during the 40 days that follow up until Easter.

My mom also an ex pat Brit along with my granma always made the thin crepe like pancakes as well,, and with the lemon juice, sugar or lime juice/ sugar and it's the way I was taught to make them . I really prefer them to the thick and fluffy regular pancakes most people eat.

I was suprised!!
When I learned what most folks not from the South thought Southern Baptist churches were like!!LOL... the church I grew up in was absolutely the most formal, quiet place on earth...no music was used that wasnt classical or very old hymns, a funeral home Rogers organ...now they have an Allen thats just as bad..lightning got the 1966 Rogers I think, before that it was a 1946 Wurlitzer,the service was very structured, very quiet and terribly boring to a child!!! the images you see on tv of shouting a-mening Baptists was CERTAINLY NOTTT! Lower Creek Baptist..If anyone had said amen...every one would have turned to see who dared to speak in church...a few of the older ladies would have probably fainted..LOL!! This is the reason I like old fashioned gospel singing and a Hammond organ...I heard enough of the dead stuff as a kid!!LOL

Tradition of "Pancake" Tuesday
At least in the Catholic tradition comes from having to use up flour, sugar and fats before abstaining from such with the start of lent the next day (Ash Wednesday).
Fat or Fattening Tuesday (Mardi Gras in French) comes from the killing and consuming of a fatted calf on the last day of Carnival.
Shrove means to "confess" hence the day also called "Shrove Tuesday".

just made pancakes for a crowd of 150....
...at my (Episcopal) parish's 73rd annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper. 25 lbs of Krusteaz and three Costco hams later, the hungry mobs were fed. I hope I don't see a pancake until, well, next Shrove Tuesday.
The dinner is organized by the Altar Guild (the women who maintain the altar vestments and all the stuff used for mass) but the cooks were two men on a 60 or 72 inch Wolf range. The left side is a six burner griddle. On the ride side we place an aluminum cooking surface over the six burners so we have two large griddles going at once.

In addition to Catholics
Episcopalians, Methodist, Lutheran, and First Christian Churches observe too as they have some form of liturgical year too.

Baptist churches are all self governing, only loosely held together by either the Southern Baptist Convention or the National Baptist Convention. This makes them autonomous. You can go from Baptist church to Baptist church and see different practices.
A lot of older Baptists think that the Catholics are praying to statues that represent saints. The totally miss the point that the statue represents the saint that the Catholics are praying to, and they think that they are praying to the statue itself. Very odd.
We belong to Second Baptist in Houston, which is one of the super churches. The reason we like it is that it is too big to have a "god squad", those unannounced visits from deacons and ministers that are masked as social visits when we really know what they are for. You usually see those in smaller churches.
