How did this start as a tradition? What is the point of it? I don't mean that in a rude way... just what is the meaning? Also, I may have gotten the religions mixed up... sorry.

It is a Christian tradition over here, not just Catholic.
^^ I was just going to write this too haha .
Yeah my family isn't catholic and we celebrate it.
I'm not very religious though but I just like celebrating things haha
Exactly! It's the same as when people who aren't irish celebrate St Patricks day.
It's just a tradition where everyone celebrates.0 -

Well that was horribly confusing for a minute there... because here in Australia, Jif Lemon is a cleaning product for the bathroom. You really DON'T want it on your pancakes!I prefer the Scotch Pancakes - never understood the attraction to traditional full of fat, feel those arteries getting harder pancakes with Jiff Lemon squirted all over them
But enjoy yours if you're having some. Haven't seen a jiff lemon ad on the tv this year either!!

It's the day before Lent, where people would traditionally fast from certain foods for 40 days, so it was a way of using up all your sugar, milk, flour and eggs before Lent.How did this start as a tradition?

I think the tradition is that pancakes are an easy way to use up the last of your eggs, flour and butter before the lent fasting begins on Ash Wednesday. I am not even slightly religious but bring on the pancakes anyway.0 -

Traditionally it was the last day to use up all the 'rich' foods - so flour eggs milk and fats before the fasting period of lent. It was done to signify that we mortals could also sacrifice certain comforts (those food stuffs being 'rich' in price too) during Lent, which is symbolic of the fourty days of fasting Christ did in the dessert before he took up his ministry. It's believed to be where he encountered his last temptations from the devil.0 -
Oh and I'm not religious, I just know lots of really random things 0

Normally I'm a lemon n sugar girl, plus I try to eat my own body weight in pancakes on shrove Tuesday... I've bought in strawberries and some low cal ice-cream as a treat and im going to limit myself to 2

I was wondering what to fix for dinner tonight....:huh:

Re jif / cif name change I think it's because unilever have large markets in Spanish speaking countries where very few words start with "ji", making jif very difficult to pronounce.0

Can I ask how big these come out? I usually use an 8" pan.0 -
Sooo excited. One of my favourite days of the year. I can't decide between syrup, chocolate drops and fresh orange, sugar and butter, bananas and honey, lemon and sugar or all of the above in a mammoth one! Hubby is going for savoury (what a saint). But the kids and I are taking the devils route!0

i have no idea what is a Pancake day. (i do now. thank you Google).
However we have a thing called Pust here.
The tradition is that the Kurenti (the yellow fluffy costums) are announcing the end of winter (with their bells they are trying to chase the winter away) and basically greeting the spring that is coming. So everyone puts on masks (simmilar to what American do for Halloween) and kids usualy go from door to door where they are asking for money and doughnuts.
Clip with Kurenti :

Slovenian doughnuts. Usually we put peach marmelade in the centre (or vanilla cream/chocolate/blueberry cream - the marmelade is traditional tho). http://www.snpj.org/Slovenian-Culture/Krofi-Recipe
