Shrove Tuesday is the term used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia to refer to the day after Shrove Monday and before Ash Wednesday. In these countries, this day is also known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday, because it is customary to eat pancakes on this day. Pancake day is usually celebrated in February, on the day before Lent begins.
A pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of butter and fried in a pan. This year Pancake day or Shrove Tuesday falls on March 8th.
One of the best known Pancake Day celebrations is a pancake race in which everybody flips pancakes in pans as they run.
