Channel: Africa Estate
Date: 2022-03-01

Pancake Day always lands 47 days prior to Easter, meaning the dates vary year on year.
Why do we celebrate pancake day? It was the last chance for a spot of indulgence before 40 days of fasting, and also an opportunity to use up food that couldn't be eaten during Lent. This included eggs, fat and milk, which were made into pancakes and eaten on that day.
An average of 700,000 pancakes are consumed every year.
