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

Sure isn’t shrove the Gaelic for pancake?

Very good 👏

Pancake Tuesday.

Pancake. Tuesday.

It’s Pancake Day, mate.

People can call it anything they like, as long as I get my share of the pancakes! 😁

Sums up my thoughts completely.

Why do you care? Some people are religious, some aren’t. Almost everyone loves pancakes.

I've only heard it called pancake day or shrove Tuesday never pancake Tuesday.

I’m not religious so I call it pancake day, and I call Christmas Day “present day” and Easter “chocolate egg day”!

Hell ye, and rightly proud of it we are too.
Happy St Pancake Tuesday 🥞

Pancake day

Definitely never heard that! Thanks, very interesting.

🙌🏼

Pancake Tuesday for me, lived in North east and North west

Sróbh?

That’s a bit joyless OP

I once had a pancake wednesday. Now THAT’S wild.

I've never heard anyone say pancake day. I've only ever heard pancake Tuesday. I live in Ireland now but I grew up in London and went to catholic schools. Everyone said pancake Tuesday. Maybe it was because most of us had Irish parents.

Fat Tuesday or Paczski Day for us! We are Christian but not of the Lent observing variety so we just use it as an excuse to eat things for breakfast that we generally oughtn’t.

On Ash Wednesday? Shameless heathen.

Don’t be snide.
I genuinely don’t understand why you think people in other countries should use the same words as you do for religious/secular occasions?
The majority of people call it Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day depending on the context and/or their beliefs. People in some regions and adjacent islands also use Pancake Tuesday which is their cultural heritage.
Why ‘hate’ words people use in other countries with different traditions it sounds pretty intolerant especially doing so on a site where the majority of people have those different traditions.
Fortunately despite the best efforts of some politicians stirring up hatred, we are a tolerant and inclusive culture that has a wonderful integration of different traditions. Perhaps you need to consider that before ‘hating’ words others use.

I'm surprised some people have never heard it called Pancake Tuesday. I'm from North West England and it's what we always called it. (Perhaps there's some historical Irish influence) I don't think it's in conflict with observing lent. I know the formal religious name is Shrove Tuesday. There was a song "Pancake Tuesday's a very happy day, If we don't get a holiday we'll all run away" etc.

In my country we eat donuts instead - we call it Fat Thursday 😁

In the bit of the north where I'm from it's Pancake Tuesday.

It's the feast of St Pancake 🙏

Oh, unclench OP! I’m a fully paid up Catholic, I’ll be observing my fast on Ash Wednesday after enjoying my pancakes on Pancake day. I work in a Catholic school and the canteen will be serving pancakes for the kids. I bet the priest will even have one 😱
