Olney, Bucks is home of the Original Pancake Race.

[sionnsar]

LOL. "I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a picture of a bunch of people with pancakes on their heads"?? < / grin >

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, one lady does seem to have her pancake in occultation with her head, if you know what I mean . . . :-D

Guess the next time we have one of THOSE threads, I'll have to post the Olney ladies.

The Olney, Kansas team won by 5 seconds this year . . .

[Kolokotronis]

I like the stained glass! Yum!

[AnalogReigns]

In Germany they devour donuts instead....

(sure beats Herring, as they eat on Shrove Tuesday in Finland!)

[sionnsar]

I like the stained glass! Yum!

Well, now we know where the stained glass went!

Cough it up... er... let me rephrase that...

[sionnsar]

I think with doughnuts I'd not be feeling as ill in my stomach as I am now. (I start my penance early, it seems..)

The Germans eat the raw herring on Good Friday, as I recall.

pancake ping.
BTW, National Pancake Day is Feb 12th. a wee late.

[beelzepug]

Just make it National Pancake Week and have the 12th be the grand finale.

[sionnsar]

You’re welcome. It’s only too bad that the stained glass pancakes have disappeared.

[maryz]

What are stained glass pancakes? It seeems to me I’ve heard of them, but either I never quite knew or just don’t remember!

[sionnsar]

The graphics originally on this posting were of stained glass windows (or a simulation thereof) showing pancakes. Perfect for Shrove Tuesday.

Happy Shrove Tuesday to all of you!

SHROVETIDE

The few days before Ash Wednesday, particularly the day before Shrove Tuesday. It is associated with confessing one's sins and has in many places become a time for holding carnivals, as the last time for festivity before the Lenten season of penance.
