Shrove Tuesday if you don't like pancakes

[RubyRedRoses]

What do you eat instead?

My kids don't like pancakes

I'm sure they aren't the only ones. If you don't like pancakes, what do you eat on Shrove Tuesday please? Or is it just another normal day for you?

What about scotch pancakes instead? They're sweet and you could eat them with butter and jam or syrup or Nutella, etc

Are they also called drop scones? I think I made those in Home Economics at school!

Yorkshire pudding has the same ingredients. You could make toad in the hole a tradition instead.

They were lovely BTW and I'll look up the recipe, thank you

Hot cross buns? Crumpets?
Do your own pizza toppings?
Donuts/churros?

I am Scottish and have never ever called them drop scones! They are also known by that name though

😂😂😂 is "drop scones" a posh term then? I grew up in NI and am not posh! Think the HE teacher may have been, or aspiring to be, bless her

They'd love it if I made it make your own pizza day tbh. They have that one day of the week usually, but I could make it somehow...shrovey

I was taught 'drop scones' as the name for them in 1980s Home Economics. I prefer them to pancakes.

We do like pancakes, but have also adopted a New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition called king cake. Obviously the real thing is made from scratch, but you can also make it with the cinnamon roll dough that comes in the twisty tubes, sliced into rings and arranged upright in a cake tin. Then cover in water icing and decorate with sprinkles.

We always do crispy duck pancakes, the Chinese type ones.

It’s not compulsory, you can eat whatever you want.

If you’re looking to replace and have a family tradition just replace pancakes with whatever you all like. Whatever you have, enjoy

Just don't eat pancakes?

Cannelloni?
Fajitas?
(Actually you can make a cannelloni type oven bake substituting either homemade pancakes or fajita wraps for the pasta tubes.).

Ok I'm from NI so do you mean like bog standard Ormo pancakes or crepe style? I make crepes (no sugar), let them cool and then make spring rolls with them that I shove in the oven. Obviously for dinner rather than breakfast

Have never heard of an Ormo pancake

I know Ormo pancakes well!

I mean homemade pancakes. They don't like them - although I make the fluffy American type. Maybe I'll try crepes actually...

@dementedpixie Ormo is a brand of pancakes and various (delicious) breads in NI!

Yes make crepes, American style thick pancakes are nowhere near as nice.

Thanks for reminding me about Shrove Tuesday. 1st March this year, so a week tomorrow. I will plan accordingly.

Just don't bother?

Yeah crepes will change the game! I struggle to see how anyone could dislike them. They're just a soft warm vessel for an unreasonable amount of Nutella

If you trying to follow a religious tradition & use up flour, milk & eggs, you could make pasta & a creamy sauce.

You could have something traditionally Welsh as it's also st David's day?
