Celebrate pancakes 来煎饼还有个专属的节日! Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is a special day celebrated in many countries around the world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada. In France, the US and other countries, it is called Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. In countries like Spain, Italy and Brazil, Shrove Tuesday is held at the end of Carnival (狂欢节). Pancake Day is always on a Tuesday in February or March. On this day, many people eat pancakes: thin, flat (扁平的) cakes made in a pan. Another tradition in the UK is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss (抛扔) the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan several times. In some pancake races, people dress up in fancy costumes. Pancakes are very easy to make.
