今日はパンケーキの日

パンケーキの日は四旬節に入る直前の火曜日のことで、

この日イギリス人は文字通りパンケーキを食べる。

黒砂糖とレモン汁を少々かけて、丸めて食べるのが普通らしい。

これがなかなかうまい。

それにしても、何故パンケーキの日なんだ?

夜はクリスチャン・ユニオンの聖書の学び会に参加。

Tuesday - Pancake day today.

Not knowing about the pancake day, I went to the chaplaincy in the morning to eat some pancakes.  It was free! of course...

British way of eating a pancake was very creative; sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and lemon drips and roll it up.

It was not until this afternoon that I found out the reason why I had pancakes this morning.

"Did you know today is the pancake day" said my friend.

"Oh that's why!"

But wait a minute, what is the pancake day?
