Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is a special day celebrated in many countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada. In others, like France and the United States, it is called Mardi Gras or ‘Fat Tuesday’.
It is always on a Tuesday in February or March and is the previous day to Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, which is a period of 40 days before Easter when people often give up or stop eating things that are bad for them like fast food.
Traditionally, during Lent, people didn’t eat butter and eggs, so to use them up, they made pancakes from these ingredients.
Many interactive agencies decided to cook some pancakes at the office for breakfast or to eat through the day. Some made salty pancakes while others preferred it sweet.
Take a look at how creative they got and enjoyed this delicious morning under the #PancakeDay2018 !
We had a productive start to the morning with lots of fruit, even more chocolate and obviously a bucket of syrup! Happy #PancakeDay pic.twitter.com/6iC3GyJmou
