It is pancake day! I know what I am definitely making for dinner (though I should have planned ahead better and bought maple syrup to NZ with me from Canada...yikes it's expensive and in teeny weeny bottles here!)

@sundogplanets I was raised Catholic (it didn't take) and I never heard of pancakes being a thing for the Tuesday before Lent.

@not2b @sundogplanets they aren't a thing here in Italy either, but sweet stuff made of a batter with eggs in it and then fried definitely are.

so I guess it's the same idea, just a different variant
