Pancake Day Next Tuesday Symbolizes Feasting, Merrymaking BY JO ALDWINCKLE Shrovetide begins tomorrow and {ends on Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday or, more familiarly Pancake Day. Shrove Tuesday is so-called from the old custom of confessing or re- ceiving shrift on that day, but at the present time it is a great festi- val of rejoicing, preceding the penitential season. (N.B. The word is SHRIFT . . . anybody who gets "short shift" as it is often called, gets a "short shirt" .. .) . Where do the pancakes come in? They are not, as is erroneously supposed, the invention of Aunt Jemima. The association of pan- cakes with Shrove Tuesday was probably due to the necessity for using up all the eggs, grease, lard and dripping in stock, preparatory to Lent, during which time all these were forbidden. Shrove Tuesday is the Carnival | of the Italians, the Mardi Gras of the French and the Pancake Day of the English; For those who won't be attending the fiesta at New Orleans or a brilliant masque ball we have collected the pancake recipes of the best cooks we know. They all say "Don't let the batter get too sloppy" and go on to ex- plain that the beating must be thorough before all the milk has been added. In other words "a fiquid mixture won't take a beat- ing". Most cooks make individual pan- cakes, stack' them on a hot plate and serve with maple syrup or but- ter, but we remember fondly the NAA ANNUAL ) by the House Committee who wish- ed to commend the work of the caretakers, Mr. and Mrs. T.
