5th Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday!! What?.... u don´t know what it is?..Goodam!!
Have u heard anything about pancakes?...Yes It´s pancake day.
In the UK, there´s the tradition of making and eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, which falls between 2 February and 9 March, depending on the date for Easter. Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday to use its correct title, 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 and on Shrove Tuesday Christians went to confession and were "shriven" (absolved from their sins).
The best place to enjoy pancake day in London is Spitalfiedls Market, just next to the "Ten Bells" where Jack "the ripper" chose some of his victims.
You just need a frying pan, a funny costume and pancakes apart from being fast as well ´cause the most important pancake race takes place in this beautiful market.
It´s necessary a team of four "athletes" who have to run from one from one place to another, flipping the pancake successfully a few times on the way.
So, if you think you are skillful enough try!!!!
Besides, pancakes are provided!!!
