PANCAKE DAY WORDSEARCH

Pancake with red orange juice

Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday and in 2013 it is on Tuesday 12th February.  Shrove is the past simple of an archaic verb which means “to confess”.

People had to use up all the cooking fat in the house before Lent [quaresima] so they made pancakes.  You make them in a frying pan and you have to toss and catch them!

In some parts of Britain there are special pancake races on this day. People have to run and toss the pancakes in their frying pans at the same time!  The most famous pancake race in Britain takes place in Olney in Buckinghamshire and it has been held since 1445.
