The tradition of Pancake Week, also known as Shrove Week, dates back to the Middle Ages, particularly in England. It was originally a way for Christians to use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar before the fasting period of Lent. The specific timing varies each year, as it precedes Ash Wednesday, marking the start of Lent. The celebration typically involves making and consuming pancakes, symbolizing a final feast before the fasting season.
