Pancake Tuesday

    It always strikes me as a bit of an odd day. I love pancakes, but generally only for a lazy weekend breakfast, not on a Tuesday. But people seem to go mental for them once a year & probably never eat them for the rest of the year.

    Then there's that odd phenomenon of drowning them in lemon concentrate that comes in a plastic lemon.. one can only presume that real lemons are, I dunno.. too real?

    So what's your take on Jif Lemon Day & will you be partaking in the great pancake debacle of 2012?

    Yes.

    Habit from when kids small.


    Also, I like pancakes. Usually mushroom filling, followed by dessert pancake with Nutella.

    I think it's less to do with pancakes and more about recreating the traditions we grew up with :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 852 ✭✭✭PrincessLola


    Its a nice tradition.

    Better then Valentine's Day anyway.. *forever alone*


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,645 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    I plan on eating loads of the bastards tomorrow. With ice cream.

    Although, we would have pancakes fairly regularly in our house.

    Won't be able to do it tomorrow so had pancake Tuesday today instead. I had seven of them and I will probably eat another three before bed. Pancake Tueday overtook easter for me as soon as I hit around 21 :D

    I love pancakes so yes, I'm gonna have some. I'm gonna have lots!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    Pancake Tuesday; the only day of the year I eat breakfast.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    There are strong, deeply-ingrained religious traditions underpinning Pancake Tuesday.

    Jesus loved pancakes, but forced himself to only have them once a year on a Tuesday in spring, as he knew otherwise he'd just eat them everyday and get really fat.

    So if you don't have pancakes tomorrow, then the terrorists win.

    Pancakes are just the best. They deserve their own day, dedicated just for them!! Always felt bad for my mam though- she used to end up standing over the cooker for ages making pancake after pancake for 4 kids. She became an expert at having 2 or 3 on the go at one time.

    And I'm pretty sure everyone with siblings fought over who got the first pancake! It's an important part of the tradition.


  • Registered Users Posts: 118 ✭✭jay phelan


    I'll be eating a f**k load of them.

    I've got my Nutella at the ready!


  • Registered Users Posts: 137 ✭✭homer.j


    mmmmmmmmm *drools* pancaaaakkkkkeeeeeeessssssss.

    A sprinke of caster sugar and a drop of jif lemon and we're ready to go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    I'm gonna eat so many pancakes I might turn into a big pancake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername

    Golden syrup.

    Is that like maple syrup for poor people?


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 5,620 ✭✭✭El_Dangeroso


    I just found out they don't have pancake Tuesday in the US. You think they'd be all over that shit. I suppose every day is pancake day over there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I'm going to a charity pancake breakfast, in Canada.

    So my maple syrup is the real stuff :cool:

    It's jif, not cif.
    Jif, the lemon company are not the same as cif, the people who make cleaning fluids.

    Let them go ahead and put Cif on their pancakes.

    That'll learn 'em.

    Shouldn't it be on a Wednesday this year seeing as it's a leap year? We've get an extra day before the easter bunny arrives now.
