allotment_chick:
We had some from M&S in lemon sauce - they weren't bad.....but lemon and sugar or maple syrup is what does it for me, so I think I might be make some at the weekend when I've a bit more time, not tired from the rigours of a day in London and sorting out the car which broke down in the underground staff car park and which couldn't be towed and needed to be recovered by a power-lift truck ...... :-/

Thank you Ross. I'm ashamed I know so little about my neighbors. Sorry folks, I guess I have to wait till next shrove tuesday to be forgiven. I should have googled it but never thought about doing that, just used the dictionary.
Why EJ, did you make the pancakes for the kids without eggs? In the explanation I read you are supposed to use up all your eggs and milk on this day.
As I was wondering why it took a while to get an answer a nasty thought creeped in. Could it be that some of you have forgotten where this tradition came from but didn't shrive it?
