Pancake Tuesday

Well, noan et proposishuns wod do for t’ lot, and there wur such opposistion wal it omust hung on a threed, wether the railway went on or net, wal at last an oud farmer, wun o’ the committee-men, we a voice as hoarse as a farm yard dog, bawls aht, I propose Pancake Tuesday. 

That was a jolly game and it is only one of many that used to be popular on Pancake Tuesday.

Pancake Tuesday is quite a nice name is it not?

But nowadays the ceremonies connected with Pancake Tuesday are not so important and picturesque as they used to be.

The practice of eating pancakes on this day still survives in many places, and hence it is also called Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day.
