Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. On this day many people make pancakes as a way to use up ingredients such as eggs, milk and sugar before the start of Lent.

Many villages in the UK hold Pancake Day races where people dress up in fancy dress and flip pancakes as they run. Ring the changes on Pancake Day by adding Black Garlic to traditional pancake recipes.
