What is shrove Tuesday and can you eat meat?

Answer 1

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar. Traditionally, it is a day for feasting and using up rich foods like eggs, sugar, and fats before the Lenten fast begins. While many people focus on eating pancakes, it is also acceptable to eat meat on Shrove Tuesday, as it is not a day of fasting or abstinence. However, some choose to abstain from meat as part of their personal Lenten preparations.
