Pancake Day yesssssss

Is it acceptable to go round everywhere here that makes food and get pancakes in each one? I feel like it is, you know. I reckon that's an aces plan.

I've already been running today so this ain't gonna be a problem at all.

Me? Nah. It's the day before Lent, innit? I remember this from school. So you have to give up stuff for Lent like chocolate or cigs or whatever, until it's Easter. And the day before is when you're meant to have a big feast before you have to fast. Some places have Mardi Gras, right? And in England and probably other places too, I ain't been anywhere else on Pancake Day to know, the feast is with pancakes. Cause it's got butter and sugar and you might put chocolate on your pancakes or syrup or honey or whatever, but they're all the sweet things you're probably gonna give up for the next 40 days.

Unless you're Irish, apparently you get Paddy's Day off from Lent. Dunno how true that is but I knew a guy from Dublin and he always gave up beer for Lent, except for on Paddy's Day.

	Yes, Mardi Gras I have heard of. So this is like the English equivalent? We do have a Mardi Gras carnival in Paris, and eat waffles or fried food. Pancakes seemed so very specific I did not make the connection. But any excuse for a pancake crawl. ~~What is Paddy's Day?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, but only because I am such a pancake fan, you know? I will tolerate you for the cause. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I had a stack of them once in a diner, so I reckon there was about six of them. And they'd be the size of your head, maybe? Maybe bigger? And at least half an inch thick, each. So I had those, and then my mum didn't want all of hers so that was another three, because we were sat there talking and nobody took the food away. So that's nine. And there was berries and syrup on them, too. And bacon. And then I didn't eat a ~~fuc~~ thing for about 24 hours.

What about you?

	That is a LOT! I am only allowed to have one at home but one time Mama secretly gave me two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_to_lose 2022-03-01 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	Two's pretty good, yeah. What did you have on them? Sugar and lemon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlesirius 2022-03-01 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yes that's right! Sugar and lemon. Were they nice with bacon? Do you think because I am older now I shoud be allowed three? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_to_lose 2022-03-01 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	They're really good with bacon and maple syrup. But then you have to do lots of exercise. Like, I'm going to do at least two laps of the big park tomorrow when I'm out running because I'm gonna eat so many pancakes today. I reckon you should definitely get two if you're older, and then see if you can get a third. Be charming or something, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hate running. Maybe I can fly around really fast on a broomstick to exercise instead? Yes I will try to be. Uncle Arcturus is nice, he might let me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
