Well, on Shrove Tuesday (Also known as Pancake Day), I normally eat pancakes.
On Shrove Tuesday, traditionally, foods that are rich and fatty are consumed to use up these ingredients before the fasting period of Lent begins. However, during Lent itself, which follows, Christians typically avoid eating meat, dairy products, and eggs, as well as rich and indulgent foods. Therefore, the foods that cannot be eaten on Shrove Tuesday would include these items during the subsequent Lent period, but on Shrove Tuesday itself, the focus is on consuming them.
