To hate it being called pancake tuesday

[scrambledeggsandbeans]

Just that really, it's shrove Tuesday it is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting

As a serious Catholic family, we say both Shrove Tuesday and Pancake day. I don’t worry about that. What bothers me is calling the day before Easter Day Easter Saturday when it should be Holy Saturday.

Both your thread title and @Hayliebells 's response refer to hating the act of calling it pancake Tuesday.

It's Jif Lemon day!

It's not like Christians (or any of the monotheists) to hate something they disagree with.

Anyway, Tuesday is the day named in recognition of the God Tyr. A day to reflect on the sacrifice he made in giving up his hand to bind the wolf that would end the world.

Agree, it’s always Shrove Tuesday in this house.

A prize to whoever else knows the name of the day before!

No, St Pancake Tuesday. 😂

But why wait until Shrove Tuesday (and mark the day) to have a pancake party, why not mid January or on a Thursday ?

Is that Maundy Monday or something?

Pancake Tuesday (Manchester). Maybe it's a northern thing or irish influence? Never heard of Pancake Day!,

I enjoy pancakes.
I do not enjoy Jesus.
Ergo, pancake day.
(NOT 'pancake Tuesday', only a ruddy psychopath would call it that)

@Hayliebells I just have always known it as shrove tuesday, I had no knowledge that in England it was called pancake day.
As I've said I don't live in the UK I stream English speaking TV and most adverts come from Ireland.
I'm sorry if I have misinterpreted what you had said

i agree op

Apart from the scores of posters on this thread who have said they call it Pancake Tuesday.

I’ve called it Pancake Tuesday all my life, and all my family do as well. People can call it anything they like, as long as I get my share of the pancakes! 😁

@TyrannasaurusJex so all Irish and Scottish are psychopaths

So what. I'm not Belgian but I still eat Brussel Sprouts

Some of us are tbf 😂😂😂

Monday

But why come on a mainly UK site and have a go at people calling it something that most people don’t call it anyway?

This. We called it pancake day when I was a child in the 60s. Its not a new thing.

You're thinking of Maundy Thursday, that's in Holy Week, at the other end of Lent.

The day before Shrove Tuesday is Collop Monday, the day to eat up the meat.

Jesus tastes like flavourless biscuits. And cheap sherry.

I just came to this thread to make sure someone had posted the PPPPPPPPancake day song from Maid Marion. And they had. So all is right with the world

@SomethingUniqueThisTime sorry didn't know it was only for UK people I thought it was all inclusive. Silly me 🤗

Even growing up in a v Catholic house 40 yrs ago it was usually referred to as Pancake Tuesday more than Shrove Tuesday, dont think it's used as much in the UK
