My favourite British celebrations!
Hello all!
Stephanie here, I wanted to share one of my favourite British celebrations, Pancake Day!
Also known as Shrove Tuesday (this year February 16th), it is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent. Lent is the 40 days before Easter and is traditionally a time of fasting. Nowadays, people often choose to give something up for Lent, for example chocolate or meat.
In the UK in particular we celebrate Shrove Tuesday by making lots of pancakes, therefore Pancake Day! I love savoury pancakes in particular, my favourite is bacon, brie and cranberry sauce mmm!
