Next week 20 February. Bring on the lemon juice and sugar! Then I give up sweet things for Lent
But you can have pancakes any Tuesday really! Or Monday, or Wednesday or any day!!!

there is NO pancake tuesday...its called Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is always the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. The next Shrove Tuesday is on the 20th February 2007. Basically its the day when you eat all that is bad for you before you start Lent on Ash Wednesday - another little fact for you....it was also known as fat tuesday for the very reason that you ate so much to tide you over for the 40 days of Lent.

It's the day before the start of Lent Tue 20th Feb. The idea of Lent is to have something really tasty like pancakes the day before giving up something really tasty for 40 days...Jesus fasted for 40 days & nights which is the reason behind this Catholic tradition...however if you count up the number of days between 21st Feb and easter Sunday it's more than 40 days !!!
I normally give up alcohol for Lent - it's tough.. but it's good for the liver and the soul !
Enjoy your Pancakes !

I think you mean puncski (spelling) day. Tuesday before "Lent". Sweet pastries but my spelling leaves something out. The "u" is pronounced long.
