What do you eat on shrove Tuesday

[Qwerty21]

Do you eat just pancakes for your evening meal, in which case do you feel like you've actually eaten a meal? Or do you have a normal meal and a pancake pudding?
Growing up we just had pancakes but it kinda feels like I should actually give my family a proper meal and not just sugar 😆 so I'm not sure what to do this year

Vegan pancakes with fruit or lemon juice and sugar here, probably late afternoon. We have them fairly often, but not usually on Shrove Tuesday. They are more of a weekend thing.

It’s fairly easy. Easier if you can find peeled hazelnuts. It’s the only time I make it though so not so easy you’d make it every week. You need a nutri bullet type blender.

Tell me more about flour soup - is it tastier than it sounds? I’ve never heard of it before and I’m really intrigued!

It is tastier than it sounds, and easy to make... It's a tradional linked to the Basel carnival.

Normally it's eaten on the first day of carnival (Morgenstreich) which starts before dawn. But as my Dc aren't part of any Fasnacht processions anymore, and I usually work, it's nice to fit it in somewhere.

Every region that does Carnival has a version of it. Plus a deep fried sugared very thin dough (called Chuechli) here. Like a sweet powdered poppadom.

I have a Polish colleague who brings a kind of doughnut in too.

I guess we all have our "use thr flour, butter and milk" versions. 😅

We will probably have them for pudding after tea...

@Whatineed

What is grated Sbrinz? the translation doesn't translate it.

Oh and I hope the author never lives in the UK / or an English speaking country.

Thank you @Whatineed - I’ve just looked it up, it looks really savoury and tasty!
So you’ll have this for dinner? And then pancakes after?

I would love to make a stack of pancakes for my lot. All the toppings on the table to choose from. But in reality mine won't care that it's shrove Tuesday, sadly

Pancakes for dinner.
Can do savoury crepes and then sweet pancakes

Savoury pancakes for tea. This time we're having Okonomiyaki, Japanese pancakes.

Or chicken in a white sauce. Yum!

We normally have chorizo filled pancakes which are covered in a tomato sauce and cheese then baked in the oven, these are served with rice. We then go sweet

Normal meal for us followed by pancakes with fruit/ sweet toppings for desert.
My 8 year old son doesn't like them so he'd be starved of pancakes where the only option

Sbrinz is a very hard cheese only produced in Switzerland, like the Swiss version of parmesan.

It's a traditional Swiss soup consumed during Fasnacht, why would the author live in an English speaking country or care to? The recipe is from a Swiss website. What a strange statement.

Yes we will this year, as we won't have another opportunity to have it this year, as we're not attending carnival (Fasnacht).

No pancakes whatsoever!

My mum's French, so I always used to have galettes followed by sweet pancakes, but for the past couple of years I've made okonomiyaki for the main course, because it's a sort of pancake and less faff to cook than galettes - one will feed all of us.

@Whatineed

The recipe is written by Vanessa Fuchs, it would be an unfortunate name in an English Speaking country.

Just my odd sense of humour.

We have normal dinner and pancakes for pud... greedy!! Though we have only 1 (5yo) or 2 (adults) for pudding

I think when I was a child we just had pancakes and that was it, though struggling to remember it now!

The day is upon us! Lo already disappointed that not every meal today is going to be pancakes lol

We had pancakes for breakfast (dc2 had 3, dc3 had 5, I had 2 and dh had gone to work so none for him). I made a treble sized batter and we will have them for pudding too.

My two wanted pancakes for breakfast but sadly no time on weekdays, too much of a rush getting everyone to school, nursery and work on time!

@AnotherEmma im wfh today and the dc are on half term so I had the time this morning when I’d usually be getting everyone up and ready.
and previously I’ve worked very locally at school friendly times so have always been able to make them before breakfast. However I usually have to wrap my hair in a towel as otherwise I can smell the fried butter all day 😂

The deep fried thin dough sounds like the "bugnes" they eat in certain parts of France like Savoie

Only have pancakes for an evening meal on shrove Tuesday! With Nutella and banana. Or Nutella and marshmallows. I've already had my dinner as I was in work stupid o'clock this morning so was starving when I got home.
