I love the pancake tradition for most any holiday and I loved reading about the background of this one

Very interesting. I imagine it was the French that brought this tradition over to North America.

We have Pancake Day too. But ours is not until the 16th of February this year. I am not religious, but I think it has something to do with Lent.
Best wishes, Pete.

16 FEb is when we celebrate Shrove Tuesday too, Pete. It is the last day before Lent and people used up all their animal products like butter and eggs before the Lent fasting.
