2/24 fine
Shrove Tuesday is a term used in Ireland, for the day preceding the first day of the Christian season of fasting and prayer called Lent. Lent, in some Christian denominations, is the forty-day-long liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter.
This day is also known as Pancake Tuesday, as it is customary to eat pancakes on this day.
Pancakes and doughnuts are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent.
So, we had pancakes after dinner today.
