I got offered pancakes numerous times by different people. C, one of the women at the office, brought in pancakes for everyone for the tea break. I commented that I wasn't aware that pancakes had that much sugar in them (in comparison to cookies, cakes or any of the other teatime snacks). The response I was given was, "It depends on how much sugar you add. My mommy always adds a lot."
Pancake Tuesday is a common enough tradition to transcend to EastEnders (a popular TV show/nighttime soap). I was bullied into watching the show yesterday with one of my housemates (I am not a fan) and one of the families on the show had pancakes for dinner in honor of Pancake Tuesday.
I regret to report that I did not take full advantage of this tradition. I only had one pancake.
