Apparently in years gone by, the people of England used to confess their past sins on Tuesday before the start of lent. Therefore shrove being the past tense of shrive.

They would then feast on the pancakes in the evening after their confessions of foul play and sexual perversions.

Pantastic.

Making pancakes was the best way to get rid of all the butter flour and eggs that the masses would be fattening up on before giving up something for Lent.

The French also did this, but called their celebration "Fat Tuesday" or "Mardi Gras". But then you already knew that.

Sorry I couldn't post the trophy pics people - Link to list of awards on earlier FTC topic seems to be down.

Shark, it's not your fault. None of the previous FTC threads are loading the images, either. Does anyone know what happened to kaddar? If not, is there anyone with enough free webspace who can host the rules and awards?
