Shrove Tuesday (widely known as Pancake Day) is a day in February or March, preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in many countries by consuming pancakes Just for the records, I think it would be an insult if any of you eat anything other than pancakes on 17 February- 2015 I will let you off if you have pancakes with Pastelon and mofongo. Bob Arum agreed with me when I bumped into him recently
