So, it's Shrove Tuesday. Who's having pancakes?

And what's the filling going to be?

We're going to have wholemeal pancakes, filled with salmon and asparagus in a creme fraiche and lemon sauce.

Don't you like salmon, nef? Or do you like it a lot?

Shrove Tuesday = the last day before Lent begins. The reason that pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent is that the 40 days of Lent form a period of liturgical fasting, during which only the plainest foodstuffs may be eaten. Therefore, rich ingredients such as eggs, milk, and sugar are disposed of immediately prior to the commencement of the fast. Pancakes and doughnuts were therefore an efficient way of using up these perishable goods, besides providing a minor celebratory feast prior to the fast itself.

Some politically active bikers kept trying to get me to vote for Ron Paul. They were talking about rice grain microchips in every product ever. I told them I was sixteen and ran!
