Pancake Day

Scientists believe the first pancakes were made approximately 30000 years ago.

Instead of representing the sun, the pancake became the perfect food on which to gorge and overindulge before Lent. Symbolism was an important part of ancient paganism and this is where the pancake reappears. The charcoal and wheat combo might suggest he consumed the food in the form of a pancake cooked over a fire. The principles of the day are the same, an opportunity to eat plenty of fatty foods before making sacrifices for Lent. In France and other parts of the world, Pancake Day is known as Mardi Gras, which translates as 'Fat Tuesday'. Just like many of our other Christian-themed annual holidays and celebrations, the roots of Pancake Day lie in pre-Christian pagan times.

Also known as Shrove Tuesday, it happens the day before Ash Wednesday which sees the beginning of Lent, for Christians this is the season when Jesus Christ withdrew into the perilous desert for 40 days. (Aim to make the batter a few hours ahead of time and leave it to set in your fridge) By virtue of this biblical significance, Lent is traditionally observed as a time of abstinence where people will give up a treat for that period, hence why in advance of this disciplined time we luxuriate in the indulgence of Pancake Day first. Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is observed by followers of the Christian faith all around the world and it marks the last day before Lent (Ash Wednesday) but it is celebrated even by those outside of Christianity.

Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is reminding residents to be safe and responsible in the kitchen as Pancake Day approaches.

When you have finished cooking, make sure all appliances are turned off and the cooking area is clear.” However, over half of all accidental fires in the home start in the kitchen so please take care, especially when cooking with hot oil. Pan fires can take hold quickly and have devastating consequences.
