Shrove Tuesday

I hope that you are enjoying your pancakes today.  I had a lovely savoury prawn pancake with spring green and tandoori spice courtesy of a Waitrose recipe. So what are the origins of Shrove Tuesday?  According to the Pagan Slavs what does a pancake resemble?  How did the religious association come about?  Shrove comes from the Anglo Saxon shriven (absolved of their sins) but what was the pancake bell?  To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
