AIBU to Serve Pancakes as Dinner Tonight?

It’s Shrove Tuesday, DS finishes at holiday club soon and I don’t think anyone is going to eat an entire dinner AND pancakes this evening so thinking of doing pancakes with a few healthy ‘bits’ on the side, possibly a few savoury pancakes. Lazy or justified?

We are only having pancakes for tea.

Tradition.

We don’t even bother with healthy bits. It’s just pancakes. One day a year!

I’ve always done this. I do savoury (possibly vaguely healthy) fillings followed by sweet ones.

Definitely justified. We're having pancakes for dinner too, not even savoury ones. They will be topped with fruit and maple syrup.

My mum never bothers so I feel I missed out. I feel more justified now!

We always did this as kids and it’s exactly what I’m doing tonight!

More than fair and this is what my mum did every pancake day when we were kids. I loved it!
