In England, Mardi Gras is often referred to as "Shrove Tuesday." It is the day before Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent in the Christian calendar. Traditionally, it is a time for feasting and using up rich foods like eggs, sugar, and fats before the fasting period of Lent. Pancakes are commonly eaten on Shrove Tuesday, leading to the alternative name "Pancake Day."
